3.6. Analysis and Discussion of 3D Reconstruction of Rapeseed Plants
- (1)
- Seedling stage. The rapeseed plants in this period are very short, and the camera can take images at a relatively close distance, so that the accuracy of the rape point cloud obtained is higher. But also because the plant is too small, the point cloud curvature characteristics are not obvious, so that the matching point pairs are too few and the registration is easy to fail.
- (2)
- Seedling stage and moss stage. The morphological differences of rapeseed plants at this stage are not obvious, but they are significantly larger than the seedling stage, so the shooting distance has to be increased to ensure that a complete plant image is captured, which makes the difference between the point cloud quality and the seedling stage insignificant. However, due to the richer morphological structure of rape at this stage, the registration success rate is greatly improved.
- (3)
- Silique stage. The plant type of rapeseed in the silique stage is tall (often more than 2 m in height), and it is necessary to cut the rapeseed into branches before shooting. The branch size is similar to the moss stage. However, the stalks and stems in this branch are very small (often less than 1 mm), which is close to the minimum spatial resolution of the method in this paper. At this time, the point cloud is often missing, the number of matching point pairs is sharply reduced, the traditional ICP method is almost unusable, and the registration success rate of the method in this paper has also decreased. All in all, the method in this paper can achieve a higher 3D reconstruction success rate and better point cloud quality for the whole growing period of rapeseed plants.
