NODAR,  a leading provider of advanced stereo vision technology for autonomous vehicles, announces today a new feature called SwathGuidance that empowers farm vehicles with automated swath following capabilities. The new technology is part of NODAR’s AgriView product, an advanced 3D vision system for autonomous farming.

NODAR SwathGuidance utilizes cameras and software to identify and track swaths of nearly any material, shape, and volume, as far away as 60 meters and as small as 10 cm in height.

“NODAR’s stereo vision technology provides unprecedented range, precision, and robustness in harsh environments, enhancing farming operations,” says Leaf Jiang, Chief Executive Officer at NODAR. “Our latest feature, SwathGuidance, further enables farming automation, allowing farmers to use their time more productively while improving the efficiency of operations.”

Utilizing the precise data produced by NODAR’s Hammerhead 3D computer vision technology, AgriView enables a variety of farm automation applications, such as autonomous vehicle navigation, spout and sprayer alignment, and now swath following.
