BACCHUS Long-Term Dataset
Description
Agricultural multi-month dataset with overlapping paths for mapping and localisation algorithms for autonomous robots
In March 2022, we started conducting the long-term data acquisition campaign at Ktima Gerovassiliou vineyard. This vineyard extends for more than 100ha located on the outskirts of Epanomi, Greece.
As shown in the image below (taken in March and June), agricultural environments present seasonal changes, repetitive structures, uneven terrain and different weather conditions, which make achieving long-term autonomy for robots a challenging problem.
Motivated by these challenging conditions and the lack of an agricultural dataset in the literature, we present the BLT dataset. Its primary objective is to push developments and evaluations of different mapping and localisation algorithms for long-term autonomous robots operating in agricultural fields. However, we believe that thanks to its temporal aspect, the dataset can also be used for phenotyping and crop mapping tasks.
