Title
3d Plant Root System Reconstruction Based On Fusion Of Deep Structure-From-Motion And Imu
Abstract
Roots play a critical role in the functioning of plants. However, it is still challenging to generate detailed 3D models of thin and complicated plant roots, due to the complexity of the structure and the limited textures. Limited by the difficulty of realization and inaccessibility of labeled data for training, few works have been put in exploring this problem using deep neural networks. To overcome this limitation, this paper presents a structure-from-motion based deep neural network structure for plant root reconstruction in a self-supervised manner, which can be applied by mobile phone platforms. In the training process of deep structure-from-motion, each depth is constrained from the depth map and predicted relative poses from their adjacent frames captured by the mobile phone cameras, and the LSTM-based network after CNN for pose estimation is learnt from the ego-motion constraints by further exploiting the temporal relationship between consecutive frames. IMU unit in the mobile phone is further utilized to improve the pose estimation network by continuously updating the correct scales from the gyroscope and accelerometer moment. Our proposed approach is able to solve the scale ambiguity in recovering the absolute scale of the real plant roots so that the approach can promote the performance of camera pose estimation and scene reconstruction jointly. The experimental results on both real plant root dataset and the rendered synthetic root dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our method compared with the classical and state-of-the-art learning-based structure-from-motion methods.
