Sprayer-Robot Detection from Auto-Labeling to Deployment

An object detection pipeline for a sprayer robot, from foundation-model auto-labeling to YOLOv11n edge deployment.

Perception for a sprayer robot. Schematic illustrating Foundation-model labels, YOLOv11n, NCNN.

Model Roles

Model Purpose
YOLOv11 nano Small deployable detector, quantized with NCNN for CPU-based edge inference
SAMURAI Auto-labels unique marker objects by tracking them through video frames
GroundingDINO Auto-labels faces, shoes, people, and animals from raw images
SEEM + SAMv2 Provides grass, plant, and road labels reused from the segmentation pipeline

Dataset Merge

Class ID Label Label Source
0 grass SEEM + SAMv2
1 plant SEEM + SAMv2
2 road SEEM + SAMv2
3 person GroundingDINO
4 animal GroundingDINO
5 marker SAMURAI
6 shoes GroundingDINO
7 face GroundingDINO

Notes

  • Reused original COCO labels when available for people and animals.
  • Used SAMURAI for the charging-station marker because GroundingDINO struggled with that unique object.
