In-field fruit monitoring at different growth stages provides important information for farmers. Recent advances have focused on the detection and location of fruits, although development accurate size estimation systems is still a challenge that requires further attention. This work proposes novel methodology automatic in-field apple which based four main steps: 1) detection; 2) point cloud generation using structure-from-motion (SfM) multi-view stereo (MVS); 3) estimation; 4) visibility...
The detection and sizing of fruits with computer vision methods is interest because it provides relevant information to improve the management orchard farming. However, presence partially occluded limits performance existing methods, making reliable fruit a challenging task. While previous segmentation works limit visible region (known as modal segmentation), in this work we propose an amodal algorithm predict complete shape, which includes its regions. To do so, end-to-end convolutional...
The measurement of fruit size is great interest to estimate the yield and predict harvest resources in advance. This work proposes a novel technique for in-field apple detection based on Deep Neural Networks. proposed framework was trained with RGB-D data consists an end-to-end multitask Network architecture specifically designed perform following tasks: 1) segmentation each from its surroundings; 2) estimation diameter detected fruit. methodology tested total 15,335 annotated apples at...
In this work, a LIDAR-based 3D Dynamic Measurement System is presented and evaluated for the geometric characterization of tree crops. Using measurement system, trees were scanned from two opposing sides to obtain three-dimensional point clouds. After registration clouds, simple easily obtainable parameter number impacts received by vegetation. The work in study based on hypothesis existence linear relationship between LIDAR sensor laser beam vegetation leaf area. Tests performed under...
The measurement of geometric canopy parameters in woody crops is an important task Precision Agriculture because their correlation with crop condition and productivity. In recent years, several technological approaches have been developed as alternative to manual measurements, which are time- labour-consuming. Two the most commonly used 3D characterization technologies mobile terrestrial laser scanning (MTLS) based on light detection ranging (LiDAR) sensors, digital aerial photogrammetry...

Characterizing crop canopies is especially important in the management of woody crops. In this article, two systems were compared to characterise a 50 m long vineyard row section. One was mobile terrestrial laser scanner based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor (MTLS-LiDAR). The other an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) system using digital photogrammetry (UAV-DAP). resulting 3D point clouds assessed qualitatively quantitatively. Canopy heights, widths volumes obtained 0.1 sections...
