Title
Estimation of Branch Angle from 3D Point Cloud of Plants
Abstract
Measuring geometric features in plant specimens either quantitatively or qualitatively, is crucial for plant phenotyping. However, traditional measurement methods tend to be manual and can be tedious, or employ coarse 2D imaging techniques. Emerging 3D imaging technologies show much promise in capturing architectural complexity. However, automated 3D acquisition and accurate estimation of plant morphology for the construction of quantitative plant models remain largely aspiration. In this paper, we propose an approach for segmentation and angle estimation directly from dense 3D plant point clouds. Experimental results show that the approach is efficient and reliable, and appears to be a promising 3D acquisition and measurement solution to plant phenotyping for structural analysis and for building Functional-Structural Plant Models (FSPM).
