LeafTrackNet: A Deep Learning Framework for Robust Leaf Tracking in Top-Down Plant Phenotyping

  • 用YOLOv10检测叶片,MobileNetV3提取特征,通过嵌入记忆保持身份一致
  • 在自建数据集上实现9%的HOTA提升,优于现有植物专用与通用追踪方法
  • 开源最大规模油菜叶追踪数据集,适合农业表型研究者使用

高分辨率个体叶片表型分析能深入揭示植物发育与胁迫响应机制。但因缺乏鲁棒的跟踪方法,尤其对油菜等结构复杂的作物,其潜力尚未充分挖掘。现有植物专用跟踪方法多限于小规模物种或依赖受控成像条件,而通用多目标追踪方法又不适用于动态生物场景。同时,准确叶追踪模型的发展受限于真实条件下大规模数据集的缺失。本文构建了CanolaTrack数据集,包含5,704张RGB图像,涵盖184株油菜早期生长阶段的31,840个标注叶实例。提出LeafTrackNet框架,结合YOLOv10叶检测器与MobileNetV3嵌入网络,通过基于嵌入的记忆关联策略实现跨时序身份保持。实验表明,该方法在CanolaTrack上相比现有植物专用追踪器和先进MOT基线,显著提升9% HOTA指标。本工作为真实条件下叶级追踪建立新标准,并公开了当前最大的农业作物叶追踪数据集,推动未来植物表型研究。代码与数据已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

High resolution phenotyping at the level of individual leaves offers fine-grained insights into plant development and stress responses. However, the full potential of accurate leaf tracking over time remains largely unexplored due to the absence of robust tracking methods-particularly for structurally complex crops such as canola. Existing plant-specific tracking methods are typically limited to small-scale species or rely on constrained imaging conditions. In contrast, generic multi-object tracking (MOT) methods are not designed for dynamic biological scenes. Progress in the development of accurate leaf tracking models has also been hindered by a lack of large-scale datasets captured under realistic conditions. In this work, we introduce CanolaTrack, a new benchmark dataset comprising 5,704 RGB images with 31,840 annotated leaf instances spanning the early growth stages of 184 canola plants. To enable accurate leaf tracking over time, we introduce LeafTrackNet, an efficient framework that combines a YOLOv10-based leaf detector with a MobileNetV3-based embedding network. During inference, leaf identities are maintained over time through an embedding-based memory association strategy. LeafTrackNet outperforms both plant-specific trackers and state-of-the-art MOT baselines, achieving a 9% HOTA improvement on CanolaTrack. With our work we provide a new standard for leaf-level tracking under realistic conditions and we provide CanolaTrack - the largest dataset for leaf tracking in agriculture crops, which will contribute to future research in plant phenotyping. Our code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/shl-shawn/LeafTrackNet.
