Abstract:	This paper proposes a method to create threedimensional field maps by combining the information captured with a stereo camera, a localization sensor, and an inertial measurement unit. The perception engine comprises a compact stereo camera that captures field scenes and generates threedimensional point clouds, which are transformed to geodetic coordinates and assembled in a global field map. The results showed that stereo perception is capable of providing the level of detail and accuracy needed in the construction of threedimensional field maps for precision agriculture and field robotic applications.
