Local maximum attraction path planning algorithm for cotton topping based on 3D reconstruction of cotton canopy

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a path planning algorithm for efficient navigation in cotton topping using 3D canopy reconstructions.
• Proposes the Local Maximum Attraction (LMA) path planning algorithm.
• Utilizes multi-modal information integration for 3D spatial analysis.
• Translates path-3D surface collision issues into path-surface intersection problems.
• Enhances path planning efficiency through improved collision detection mechanisms.
• Provides a framework applicable to similar precision agricultural tasks.
