Recently, mechanization and automation of farming are required. However, they have not been improved enough. To thin out young pears with robot arms, it is needed to detect and localize fruits’ positions and sizes. In this paper, the method of localizing them is proposed. To avoid being occluded by surrounding leaves and other fruits, data of fruits from some viewpoints are integrated to localize fruits’ positions and sizes by multi-view stereo. In this study, data from other viewpoints are matched only by geometrical features. In the experiental results, fruits could be localized within 18 millimeter.
