GrapesNet: Indian RGB & RGB-D vineyard image datasets for deep learning applications.

Abstract

In most of the countries, grapes are considered as a cash crop. Currently huge research is going on in development of automated grape harvesting systems. Speedy and reliable grape bunch detection is prime need for various deep learning based automated systems which deals with object detection and object segmentation tasks. But currently very few datasets are available on grape bunches in vineyard, because of which there is restriction to the research in this area. In comparison to the vineyard in outside countries, Indian vineyard structure is more complex, so it becomes hard to work in real-time. To overcome these problems and to make vineyard dataset for suitable for Indian vineyard scenarios, this paper proposed four different datasets on grape bunches in vineyard. For creating all datasets in GrapesNet, natural environmental conditions have been considered. GrapesNet includes total 11000+ images of grape bunches. Necessary data for weight prediction of grape cluster is also provided with dataset like height, width and real weight of cluster present in image. Proposed datasets can be used for prime tasks like grape bunch detection, grape bunch segmentation, and grape bunch weight estimation etc. of future generation automated vineyard harvesting technologies.

Plant phenotyping relevance

ブドウ果房画像データセットを構築し、果房の検出・セグメンテーションに加えて重量推定用の寸法と実重量を提供することが中心で、再利用可能な植物表現型データセットに該当する。

Code and data availability

The paper is a data descriptor for GrapesNet, a public Mendeley Data repository of Indian vineyard RGB/RGB-D grape bunch image datasets with ground-truth cluster height, width, and weight measurements used for phenotyping tasks (detection, segmentation, weight estimation). The dataset is the paper's core asset and is a
