Abstract: A system for detecting the presence of a plant on the ground includes a light module configured to emit a light beam having a shape with a length longer than a width. The system may include one or more lenses each having one or more photodetectors. The photodetectors may be arranged in a side-by-side configuration and are configured to receive reflected portions of the light beam. The lenses may be configured to direct the reflected portions of the light beam onto the photodetectors.

Abstract: Embodiments describe systems and methods for tracking produce with an electronic device. A method includes, during each of a plurality of instances of time, receiving one or more clam codes, receiving a tray code, associating the one or more claim codes with the tray code, receiving a palette code, associating the palette code with the tray code, and storing the one or more clam codes, tray codes, and the palette code in a database. After associating the one or more clam codes with the tray code and the palette code with the tray code, the method includes receiving a request to identify the tray code or the palette code associated with a specific clam code, wherein the specific clam code is included in the one or more clam codes; and identifying the tray code or the palette code associated with the specific clam code.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer programs are disclosed for estimating, or at least for generating information usable to estimate, the heading of at least one axis of interest of a rigid body. Rigid body is equipped with an antenna of a navigation satellite system (NSS) receiver, and with sensor equipment comprising sensors such as a gyroscope, an angle sensor, and accelerometers, depending on the form of the invention. Rigid body is subject to a known motion comprising causing a point's horizontal position to change, the point being referred to as “point B”, while keeping another point's position, the point being referred to as “point A”, fixed relative to the Earth. Considering the motion constraint, an estimation of the heading is generated using sensor equipment data and NSS receiver data. The estimation of the heading may for example be used to estimate the position of any point of rigid body.

Abstract: A system for providing manual guidance of a vehicle includes a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to a steering wheel, a second IMU attached to a fixed part of the vehicle, a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receiver, a data storage device for storing a pre-planned path, and a feedback module. The feedback module is configured to determine a current angle of the steering wheel, determine a deviation of the current position of the vehicle from the pre-planned path, determine a current heading of the vehicle, determine a current velocity of the vehicle, and determine a desired angle of the steering wheel relative to the vehicle. The system further includes a user interface configured to provide a visual indication of the desired angle of the steering wheel or a deviation of the current angle of the steering wheel from the desired angle of the steering wheel.

Abstract: An image may be obtained from one or more cameras coupled to a first vehicle. The image may be provided as input to a machine learning algorithm configured to determine whether an object depicted in the image corresponds to another vehicle and to determine size information and location information for the object. Output from the machine learning algorithm enables obtaining features including size and location information for a second vehicle that is identified in the image. The features may be used to determine whether the second vehicle is depicted within a predetermined region of the image including a predicted travel path of the first vehicle. The features may also be used to determine whether the second vehicle is within a predetermined proximity of the first vehicle. Thereafter, a determination may be generated as to whether there is a significant risk of collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

Abstract: A navigation system for a dynamic platform includes an inertial navigation system (INS) unit for measuring, in real-time, linear accelerations and angular velocities of the dynamic platform, and determining, using dead reckoning, initial estimates of current poses of the dynamic platform based on a previous pose of the dynamic platform and the linear accelerations and angular velocities of the dynamic platform. The navigation system further includes an exteroceptive sensor for acquiring sequential images of an environment in which the dynamic platform is traveling, a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) unit for estimating visual odometer (VO) pose changes of the dynamic platform using the sequential images, and a sensor fusion engine for determining estimates of current poses of the dynamic platform based at least in part on the initial estimates of current poses determined by the INS unit and the VO pose changes estimated by the local sub-map tracker.

Abstract: Methods for determining corrected positions of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) rover using a GNSS base station and one or more GNSS reference stations include determining a statistical representation of position measurements from the GNSS reference stations and an instantaneous position measurement from the GNSS reference stations. A position correction is determined based on the statistical representation and the instantaneous position measurement. A corrected position of the GNSS rover is determined based on a position of the GNSS rover and the position correction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for steering a mobile agricultural machine to align a guidance point with a guidance line. One method includes setting the guidance point and setting the guidance line. The method also includes receiving, from an orientation sensor mounted on the mobile agricultural machine, orientation information including one or both of a pitch angle and a roll angle of the mobile agricultural machine. The method further includes calculating an orientation correction based on the orientation information. The method also includes modifying the guidance point using the orientation correction and steering the mobile agricultural machine to align the modified guidance point with the guidance line and/or modifying the guidance line using the orientation correction and steering the mobile agricultural machine to align the guidance point with the modified guidance line.

Abstract: A GNSS receiver for generating distance estimates from multiple GNSS satellites. The GNSS receiver includes an antenna and an RF front end coupled to the antenna configured to generate a plurality of samples related to a received signal. The GNSS receiver includes a correlator coupled to the RF front end configured to perform various operations including performing three correlations on the plurality of samples with three local code to generate three correlation results, where the three local codes are shifted in time or distance with respect to each other. The GNSS receiver includes a processor for defining a first slope using the first correlation result and the second correlation result, defining a second slope using the second correlation result and the third correlation result, and defining a code discriminator as a sum of the first slope and the second slope.
