arXiv:2610.11764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable crop-row perception is essential for autonomous agricultural robots, but low-cost deployment is constrained by computation, memory, power, and inference time. This paper addresses crop-row detection and navigation-line extraction using UltraLight Luma, a compact encoder-decoder segmentation network with a progressive learning strategy and only 13.1k trainable parameters. The predicted crop-row masks are processed using a post-processing algorithm to estimate row alignment for downstream visual servoing. UltraLight Luma improves parameter efficiency over U-Net, YOLOv8, and YOLOv26 while maintaining reliable crop-row detection performance. The model required only 25.23 mJ per inference, demonstrating its suitability for resource-constrained agricultural robots.
