- 适合资源受限的田间机器人,尤其在叶片遮挡严重时有效。
精准的植物叶片建模对生长监测和产量表型分析至关重要。自主机器人在大规模田间部署中需兼顾规划预算与计算资源限制,同时优化视角以提升叶片表面重建效果。现有方法或聚焦刚性物体、点云覆盖率,或未充分考虑系统约束及任务驱动的点云效用。本文研究在移动约束下的叶片表面重建下一最佳视角(NBV)规划,提出一种基于重心的信息增益(CIG)函数,衡量已观测点相对于点云重心的空间分布,以计算视角价值,并设计滚动时域变体,推理未来视角序列。我们使用公开数据集LAST-STRAW,包含不同生长阶段的草莓植株点云,与基于可见性的注意力驱动NBV方法对比。结果表明,所提方法在多个生长阶段均显著降低表面重建误差,几何保真度更高,尤其在叶片间遮挡加剧时表现更优,重建精度相比基线最高提升10%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate plant leaf modeling is fundamental to downstream tasks such as plant growth monitoring, and phenotyping for yield estimation. Autonomous robotic reconstruction for large-scale field deployment must address limitations on robot planning budget and computation resources while optimizing viewpoint utility for leaf surface reconstruction. Existing approaches either focus on rigid objects, point-cloud coverage or plant reconstruction without fully addressing the system limitations or exploiting task-driven point cloud utility. In this work, we study next-best-view (NBV) planning for leaf surface reconstruction under travel constraints. We develop a novel Centroid-based Information Gain (CIG) function that measures the spatial distribution of observed points relative to the centroid of the existing point cloud to compute viewpoint utility. We also develop a receding-horizon variant that reasons over future viewpoints. To benchmark our work, we use the LAST-STRAW [1] public dataset that includes point clouds of strawberry plants over different growth stages and compare our method with attention-driven NBV [2] that uses a visibility-based information gain approach. The proposed receding-horizon approach consistently reduces surface reconstruction error and improves geometric fidelity across multiple growth stages, especially under increased inter-leaf occlusion. Results demonstrate that our approach is able to visit viewpoints that reduce surface reconstruction error and improves reconstruc-tion accuracy as compared to the baseline by upto 10%.
