Abstract
An agricultural navigation system and method for an autonomous vehicle (AV) is described. The agricultural navigation system includes a system controller, a localization module associated with the system controller, and an environmental sensor. The system controller determines an AV positional pose that identifies the location of the AV. The system controller determines a relative body frame of reference (RBF) that is associated with the AV positional pose. The environmental sensor detects an asset feature in the AV environment. The asset feature includes an agricultural asset feature having a crop row. The system controller identifies at least one asset feature frame (AFF) that includes a coordinate system originating at the asset feature. The localization module determines the AV positional pose in the coordinate system of the AFF. The system controller transforms the AV positional pose from the RBF coordinate system to the coordinate system of the AFF.
