トマト収穫ロボットのための三次元カメラを用いた果実・果柄認識手法

抄録

In this paper, we propose the method of tomato fruit and pedicel recognition method using 3D camera for tomato harvesting robot. Recognition method is constructed by 2 parts; tomato fruits detection and tomato pedicel detection. To avoid detecting stem and pedicel of neighbor fruit, we propose a robust estimation method in pedicel direction calculation. We evaluated the proposed method in the greenhouse with real tomato trees, experimental result shows its robustness.
