摘要

En 中文
Agricultural robots are rapidly becoming more advanced with the development of relevant technologies and in great demand to guarantee food supply. As such, they are slated to play an important role in precision agriculture. For tomato production, harvesting employs over 40% of the total workforce. Therefore, it is meaningful to develop a robot harvester to assist workers. The objective of this work is to understand the factors restricting the recognition accuracy using image processing and deep learning methods, and improve the performance of crop detection in agricultural complex environment. With the accurate recognition of the growing status and location of crops, temporal management of the crop and selective harvesting can be available, and issues caused by the growing shortage of agricultural labour can be alleviated. In this respect, this work integrates the classic image processing methods with the YOLOv5 (You only look once version 5) network to increase the accuracy and robustness of tomato and stem perception. As a consequence, an algorithm to estimate the degree of maturity of truss tomatoes (clusters of individual tomatoes) and an integrated method to locate stems based on the resultant experiments error of each individual method were proposed. Both indoor and real-filed tests were carried out using a robot harvester. The results proved the high accuracy of the proposed algorithms under varied illumination conditions, with an average deviation of 2 mm from the ground-truth. The robot can be guided to harvest truss tomatoes efficiently, with an average operating time of 9 s/cluster.
