Improved YOLOv8-Seg Based on Multiscale Feature Fusion and Deformable Convolution for Weed Precision Segmentation
Laser-targeted weeding methods further enhance the sustainable development of green agriculture, with one key technology being the improvement of weed localization accuracy.Here, we propose an improved YOLOv8 instance segmentation based on bidirectional feature fusion and deformable convolution (BFFDC-YOLOv8-seg) to address the challenges of insuff
Robust Stereo Visual Odometry Based on Probabilistic Decoupling Ego-Motion Estimation and 3D SSC
The outliers caused by noise and mismatching severely restrict the precision of visual odometry.Moreover, the dynamic environment dea eyewear is also a crucial element that decreases the robustness of the systems.This paper presents a robust stereo visual odometry by decoupled ego-motion estimation based on probabilistic matches and rejecting the o
