As a globally important cash crop, the optimization of tomato yield and quality is strategically significant for food security and sustainable agricultural development. In order to address the problem of missing point cloud data on fruits in a facility agriculture environment due to complex canopy structure, leaf shading and limited collection viewpoints, the traditional geometric fitting method makes it difficult to restore the real morphology of fruits due to the dependence on data integrity. This study proposes an adaptive symmetry self-matching (ASSM) algorithm. It dynamically adjusts symmetry planes by detecting defect region characteristics in real time, implements point cloud completion under multi-symmetry constraints and constructs a triple-orthogonal symmetry plane system to adapt to multi-directional heterogeneous structures under complex occlusion. Experiments conducted on 150 tomato fruits with 5-70% occlusion rates demonstrate that ASSM achieved coefficient of determination (R) values of 0.9914 (length), 0.9880 (width) and 0.9349 (height) under high occlusion, reducing the root mean square error (RMSE) by 23.51-56.10% compared with traditional ellipsoid fitting. Further validation on eggplant fruits confirmed the cross-crop adaptability of the method. The proposed ASSM method overcomes conventional techniques' data integrity dependency, providing high-precision three-dimensional (3D) data for monitoring plant growth and enabling accurate phenotyping in smart agricultural systems.
作为一种全球重要的经济作物,番茄产量和品质的优化对粮食安全和农业可持续发展具有重要战略意义。在设施农业环境中,由于冠层结构复杂、叶片遮挡以及采集视角有限,存在果实点云数据缺失的问题,传统几何拟合方法因依赖数据完整性而难以恢复果实真实形态。本研究提出了一种自适应对称自匹配(ASSM)算法。该算法通过实时检测缺陷区域特征动态调整对称平面,在多对称约束下实现点云补全,并构建三正交对称平面系统以适应复杂遮挡下的多方向异构结构。对150个遮挡率为5%-70%的番茄果实进行的实验表明,在高遮挡情况下,ASSM的决定系数(R)值在长度方向为0.9914,宽度方向为0.9880,高度方向为0.9349,与传统椭球拟合相比,均方根误差(RMSE)降低了23.51%-56.10%。对茄子果实的进一步验证证实了该方法的跨作物适应性。所提出的ASSM方法克服了传统技术对数据完整性的依赖,为监测植物生长提供了高精度三维(3D)数据,并能够在智能农业系统中实现准确的表型分析。
