摘要

AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR SELECTING AND HARVESTING FRUIT AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESS The invention relates to the field of automated fruit harvesting, in particular cluster fruits such as grapes. It relates to a method of harvesting fruits carried by a stem comprising an image processing operated in two phases. According to the invention, the method (100) comprises: a step (120) of detecting areas of interest in an overall image representing a plant set, in which one or more areas of interest are detected in the overall image to using an image processing process, each area of interest comprising at least part of a fruit, a step (130) of acquiring local images, in which a local image is acquired in the vicinity of each zone of interest, each local image representing at least part of the fruit of the zone of interest considered, and a step (150) for identifying the stems, in which a stem is identified in each local image.
