3D computer vision for agrotics: the potato operation, an overview

摘要

The potato operation is a project belonging to the domain ofagricultural robotics, or agrotics. It aims to automate pulp sampling ofpotatoes in order to detect viral diseases. The difficulty of thisproblem lies in the high variability (shape, texture, colour) of naturalobjects. Three approaches have been studied, based on contourclassification, on thermometry and on active vision and image analysis.Cooperation between robotics, active 3D computer vision and robust imageanalysis leads to a performant solution
