Sumario: | Agricultural robotics is an up and coming field which deals with the development of robotic systems able to tackle a multitude of agricultural tasks efficiently. The case of interest, in this work, is mushroom collection in industrial mushroom farms. Developing such a robot, able to select and out-root a mushroom, requires delicate actions that can only be conducted if a well-performing perception module exists. Specifically, one should accurately detect the 3D pose of a mushroom in order to facilitate the smooth operation of the robotic system. In this work, we develop a vision module for 3D pose estimation of mushrooms from multi-view point clouds using multiple RealSense active–stereo cameras. The main challenge is the lack of annotation data, since 3D annotation is practically infeasible on a large scale. To address this, we developed a novel pipeline for mushroom instance segmentation and template matching, where a 3D model of a mushroom is the only data available. We evaluated, quantitatively, our approach over a synthetic dataset of mushroom scenes, and we, further, validated, qualitatively, the effectiveness of our method over a set of real data, collected by different vision settings. |
