An Online Replanning Approach for Crop Fields Mapping with Autonomous UAVs

Résumé

For managing production at the scale of crop fields, maps of plant pests are used to support farmer decisions. Such maps are costly to obtain since they require intensive surveys in the field, most of the time performed by human annotators or with human-controlled Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, we look at the next challenge from an AI planning point of view: flying fully autonomous UAVs equipped with online sequential decision-making capabilities for pests sampling and mapping in crop fields. Following existing work, we use a Markov Random Field framework to represent knowledge about the uncertain map and its quality, in order to compute an optimised pest-sampling policy. Since this planning problem is PSPACE hard, thus too complex to be exactly solved either offline or online, we propose an approach interleaving planning and execution, inspired by recent works on fault-tolerant planning. From past observations at a given time step, we compute a full plan consisting in a sequence of observed locations and expected observations till the end of the pest-sampling phase. The plan is then applied until the number of actual observations that differ from expected ones exceeds a given threshold, which triggers a new replanning episode. Our planning method favourably compares on the problem of weed map construction against an existing greedy approach – the only one working online – while adding the advantage of being adapted to autonomous UAVs’ flying time constraints.
