Look how they have grown: Non-destructive Leaf Detection and Size Estimation of Tomato Plants for 3D Growth Monitoring
Smart farming is a growing field as technology advances. Plant characteristics are crucial indicators for monitoring plant growth. Research has been done to estimate characteristics like leaf area index, leaf disease, and plant height. However, few methods have been applied to non-destructive measurements of leaf size. In this paper, an automated non-destructive imaged-based measuring system is presented, which uses 2D and 3D data obtained using a Zivid 3D camera, creating 3D virtual representations (digital twins) of the tomato plants. Leaves are detected from corresponding 2D RGB images and mapped to their 3D point cloud using the detected leaf masks, which then pass the leaf point cloud to the plane fitting algorithm to extract the leaf size to provide data for growth monitoring. The performance of the measurement platform has been measured through a comprehensive trial on real-world tomato plants with quantified performance metrics compared to ground truth measurements. Three tomato leaf and height datasets (including 50+ 3D point cloud files of tomato plants) were collected and open-sourced in this project. The proposed leaf size estimation method demonstrates an RMSE value of 4.47mm and an R^2 value of 0.87. The overall measurement system (leaf detection and size estimation algorithms combine) delivers an RMSE value of 8.13mm and an R^2 value of 0.899.
