PHENOTYPIC CHARACTER EXTRACTION OF TOMATO PLANT BASED ON 3D POINT CLOUD DATA

Abstract

To address the issue of 3D reconstruction information loss caused by occlusion during single-view camera acquisition of crop phenotypic parameters, this study proposes a detection method for tomato plant phenotypic parameters based on multi-view 3D point cloud reconstruction. The Kinect 2.0 sensor was employed to acquire point cloud data of tomato plants from three different viewpoints. Background noise was effectively removed using a combination of Conditional Filtering and Statistical Outlier Removal methods. By extracting surface normal features and calculating Fast Point Feature Histograms (FPFH), the Sample Consensus Initial Alignment (SAC-IA) and Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithms were utilized to accomplish coarse and accurate registration of the point clouds, respectively, ultimately achieving 3D reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrated that the reconstructed 3D model of the tomato plant was clear in outline and complete in structure. For the phenotypic parameters of plant height, canopy width, and leaf angle, the coefficients of determination (R²) between the calculated and manually measured values were 0.98, 0.94, and 0.89, respectively, with Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) of 0.75 cm, 1.10 cm, and 4.43 °. Compared to single-view measurements, the accuracy of plant height and maximum canopy width derived from multi-view reconstruction increased by 15.31% and 13.12%, respectively. This method provides technical support for the rapid and accurate extraction of phenotypic parameters in tomato plants.
