摘要：
A method for weeding crops includes, at an autonomous machine: recording an image at the front of the autonomous machine； detecting a target plant and calculating an opening location for the target plant longitudinally offset and laterally aligned with the location of the first target plant； driving a weeding module to laterally align with the opening location； tracking the opening location relative to a longitudinal reference position of the weeding module； when the weeding module longitudinally aligns with the first opening location, actuating the blades of the first weeding module to an open position； recording an image proximal to the weeding module； and in response to detecting the blades of the weeding module in the open position: calculating an offset between the opening location and a reference position of the weeding module, based on the image； and updating successive opening locations calculated by the autonomous machine based on the offset.
