Improved Real-Time Models for Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for Agaricus bisporus Segmentation and Localization System Using RGB-D Panoramic Stitching Images

Abstract

The segmentation and localization of Agaricus bisporus is a precondition for its automatic harvesting. A. bisporus growth clusters can present challenges for precise localization and segmentation because of adhesion and overlapping. A low-cost image stitching system is presented in this research, utilizing a quick stitching method with disparity correction to produce high-precision panoramic dual-modal fusion images. An enhanced technique called Real-Time Models for Object Detection and Instance Segmentation (RTMDet-Ins) is suggested. This approach utilizes SimAM Attention Module’s (SimAM) global attention mechanism and the lightweight feature fusion module Space-to-depth Progressive Asymmetric Feature Pyramid Network (SPD-PAFPN) to improve the detection capabilities for hidden A. bisporus. It efficiently deals with challenges related to intricate segmentation and inaccurate localization in complex obstacles and adhesion scenarios. The technology has been verified by 96 data sets collected on a self-designed fully automatic harvesting robot platform. Statistical analysis shows that the worldwide stitching error is below 2 mm in the area of 1200 mm × 400 mm. The segmentation method demonstrates an overall precision of 98.64%. The planar mean positioning error is merely 0.31%. The method promoted in this research demonstrates improved segmentation and localization accuracy in a challenging harvesting setting, enabling efficient autonomous harvesting of A. bisporus.
