摘要

During automatic fruit and vegetable harvesting, interference from plant stems and branches can significantly reduce the success rate and operational efficiency of harvesting robots. Therefore, accurate three-dimensional reconstruction of plant obstacles is essential for effective robotic harvesting. This paper proposes an integrated framework for tomato plant reconstruction based on multi-view point cloud acquisition and fusion combined with deep learning segmentation. Point clouds captured from primary and auxiliary viewpoints are aligned through coordinate transformation to obtain a more complete representation of the plant structure. After preprocessing using voxel filtering, statistical filtering, and radius filtering, a PointNet++ neural network is employed to separate tomato fruits from stems and leaves. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a stable Intersection over Union (IoU) of approximately 0.93 on the validation set. An octree-based tomato plant model is then established and deployed in the Robot Operating System (ROS). This provides an effective basis for obstacle avoidance and motion planning of harvesting robots.
