Abstract

Leaves account for the largest proportion of all organ areas for most kinds of plants, and are comprise the main part of the photosynthetically active material in a plant. Observation of individual leaves can help to recognize their growth status and measure complex phenotypic traits. Current image-based leaf segmentation methods have problems due to highly restricted species and vulnerability toward canopy occlusion. In this work, we propose an individual leaf segmentation approach for dense plant point clouds using facet over-segmentation and facet region growing. The approach can be divided into three steps: (1) point cloud pre-processing, (2) facet over-segmentation, and (3) facet region growing for individual leaf segmentation. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and efficient in segmenting individual leaves from 3D point clouds of greenhouse ornamentals such as Epipremnum aureum, Monstera deliciosa, and Calathea makoyana, and the average precision and recall are both above 90%. The results also reveal the wide applicability of the proposed methodology for point clouds scanned from different kinds of 3D imaging systems, such as stereo vision and Kinect v2. Moreover, our method is potentially applicable in a broad range of applications that aim at segmenting regular surfaces and objects from a point cloud.
