Systems and methods for surveying an agricultural environment on a moving platform

An agricultural observation system having one or more sensors onboard the agricultural observation system and one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to implement a method comprising:

• receive sensor data of the geographic boundary from the one or more sensors onboard the agricultural observation system;
• detect a plurality of external dynamic objects, a plurality of external static objects, one or more agricultural objects, or a combination thereof from the sensor data;
• determine a position of a component of the agricultural observation system relative to the plurality of external dynamic objects, the plurality of external static objects, the one or more agricultural objects, or a combination thereof;
• and
• generate a local map, in real time, via one or more processing units configured to detect and identify a location of one or more detected external static objects including the plurality of external dynamic objects, one or more detected external dynamic objects including the plurality of external static objects, the one or more detected agricultural objects, or a combination thereof in the geographic boundary;
• and
• index the plurality of external dynamic objects, the plurality of external static objects, the one or more agricultural objects, or a combination thereof.
