Enabling 24-hour Agricultural Robotics: Unsupervised Day-to-Night Cross-Modal Image Translation for Nighttime Visual Navigation

While visual navigation has been extensively studied in agricultural robotics, most existing systems assume daytime conditions. In fact, deploying autonomous robots at night offers significant advantages, including 24-hour crop and soil monitoring, fruit harvesting, and nocturnal pest detection. Modern vision-based systems, however, rely heavily on large-scale well-annotated image datasets, which remains challenging to obtain for nighttime operation scenarios. To address this, we propose an…
