# 🚜 AgriGS-SLAM: Orchard Mapping Across Seasons via Multi-View Gaussian Splatting SLAM [RA-L 2026]

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AIRLab-POLIMI/agri-gs-slam/main/docs/cover.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Accepted at IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L), 2026.**
> The **full multi-season AgriGS-SLAM dataset** (apple + pear orchards across dormancy, flowering, and harvesting) will be publicly released in collaboration with [**AgrifoodTEF**](https://agrifoodtef.eu) (EU Digital Europe Programme, GA Nº 101100622) — *coming soon*. In the meantime, you can try the pipeline on the [**demo dataset on Hugging Face**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/foxmirko/agri-gs-slam-dataset-demo), which is fetched automatically by the setup wizard.

## 🍎 Overview

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AIRLab-POLIMI/agri-gs-slam/main/docs/pipeline.png)

**AgriGS-SLAM** is a unified Visual–LiDAR SLAM framework that couples direct LiDAR odometry and loop closures with multi-camera 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) rendering. A batch rasterization strategy over three synchronized RGB-D cameras recovers orchard structure even under heavy occlusions and limited lateral viewpoints, while a gradient-driven map lifecycle — executed asynchronously between keyframes — preserves geometric detail and keeps GPU memory bounded throughout long field traversals. Pose refinement is driven by a probabilistic KL depth-consistency term derived from LiDAR measurements, back-propagated through differentiable camera projection to tighten the geometry–appearance coupling.

The system is validated on a tractor-mounted platform in apple and pear orchards across three phenological stages — dormancy, flowering, and harvesting — using a standardized trajectory protocol that evaluates both training-view reconstruction and novel-view synthesis. Across all seasons and orchards, AgriGS-SLAM consistently outperforms Photo-SLAM, Splat-SLAM, PINGS, and OpenGS-SLAM in rendering fidelity and trajectory accuracy, while operating in real time on-tractor.

## 📁 Repository layout

- [src/odometry/](src/odometry/) — C++ LiDAR odometry module (pybind11 bindings)
- [src/scancontext/](src/scancontext/) — C++ Scan Context loop-closure module (pybind11 bindings)
- [src/pipeline.py](src/pipeline.py) — Python entry point for the full pipeline
- [config/default.yaml](config/default.yaml) — default configuration
- [docker/](docker/) — `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml`
- [scripts/setup.sh](scripts/setup.sh) — one-shot setup wizard (recommended)

## 🔧 Prerequisites (host)

- NVIDIA GPU
- Docker + Docker Compose plugin
- [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html)
- (Optional) X11 running, for the viewer. Allow container access once per session:
  ```bash
  xhost +local:docker
  ```

## 🚀 Quick start

From the repo root:

```bash
./scripts/setup.sh
```

The wizard performs every step required to go from a clean checkout to a ready-to-run environment:

1. Checks host prerequisites (Docker, Compose, NVIDIA runtime)
2. Creates host-side `data/` and `results/` (mounted into the container at `/agri_gs_slam/data` and `/agri_gs_slam/results`)
3. Builds the Docker image (`mirkousuelli/agri-gs-slam:stable`)
4. Starts `agri-gs-slam-container` with the repo mounted at `/agri_gs_slam`
5. Compiles `src/odometry` and `src/scancontext` **in Release mode** inside the container, each into its own `build/` folder
6. Downloads the [`foxmirko/agri-gs-slam-dataset-demo`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/foxmirko/agri-gs-slam-dataset-demo) dataset from Hugging Face into `data/agri-gs-slam-dataset-demo/` (skipped if already present). `config/default.yaml → dataloader.path` already points there.
7. Extracts any PLY archives shipped with the demo dataset and verifies them
8. Drops you into an interactive shell inside the container

Flags:

| flag           | effect                                              |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `--rebuild`    | force `docker compose build --no-cache`             |
| `--clean-cpp`  | wipe `src/*/build` before recompiling               |
| `--no-shell`   | skip the final interactive shell                    |
| `-h`, `--help` | show usage                                          |

Override host-side mount paths by exporting `DATA_DIR=/abs/path` or `RESULTS_DIR=/abs/path` before running the wizard.

Once the wizard finishes you are inside the container — just run the pipeline:

```bash
cd /agri_gs_slam/src
python3 pipeline.py --gs-slam
```

## ▶️ Running the pipeline

Pick exactly one modality:

- `--odom` — LiDAR odometry only (no loop closure)
- `--slam` — full SLAM with loop closure
- `--gs-odom` — odometry + Gaussian Splatting mapping
- `--gs-slam` — full SLAM + Gaussian Splatting *(default if no flag is given)*

Add `--gs-viewer` together with `--gs-odom` / `--gs-slam` to enable the live viewer. The container exposes ports **8080** (viewer) and **8500** (dashboard).

Configuration is loaded from [config/default.yaml](config/default.yaml); edit it to point at your dataset and tune SLAM / splatting parameters.

## 🔁 Re-entering / stopping

Open another shell into the running container:

```bash
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec agri-gs-slam bash
```

Stop the container:

```bash
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down
```

## 🛠️ Manual workflow (if you prefer not to use the wizard)

```bash
# 1. Build and start
cd docker
docker compose build
docker compose up -d
docker compose exec agri-gs-slam bash

# 2. Compile the C++ modules (Release) — inside the container
for mod in odometry scancontext; do
    cd /agri_gs_slam/src/$mod
    mkdir -p build && cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
    cmake --build . -j"$(nproc)"
done

# 3. Run the pipeline
cd /agri_gs_slam/src
python3 pipeline.py --gs-slam
```
