Robust matching cost function based on evolutionary approach

The center coordinate and radius of the spherical hedges are the basic phenotypic features for automatic pruning. A binocular vision-based shape reconstruction and measurement system for front-end vision information gaining are built in this paper. Parallel binocular cameras are used as the detectors. The 2D coordinate sequence of target spherical hedges is obtained by region segmentation and object extraction process. Then, a stereo correcting algorithm is conducted to keep two cameras to be parallel. Also, an improved semi-global block matching (SGBM) algorithm is studied to get a disparity map. According to the disparity map and parallel structure of the binocular vision system, the 3D point cloud of the target is obtained. Based on this, the center coordinate and radius of the spherical hedges can be measured. Laboratory and outdoor tests on shape reconstruction and measurement are conducted. In the detection range of 2,000–2,600 mm, laboratory test shows that the average error and average relative error of standard spherical hedges radius are 1.58 mm and 0.53%, respectively; the average location deviation of the center coordinate of spherical hedges is 15.92 mm. The outdoor test shows that the average error and average relative error of spherical hedges radius by the proposed system are 4.02 mm and 0.44%, respectively; the average location deviation of the center coordinate of spherical hedges is 18.29 mm. This study provides important technical support for phenotypic feature detection in the study of automatic trimming.

Random speckle structured light can increase the texture information of the object surface, so it is added in the binocular stereo vision system to solve the matching ambiguity problem caused by the surface with repetitive pattern or no texture. To improve the reconstruction quality, many current researches utilize multiple speckle patterns for projection and use stereo matching methods based on spatiotemporal correlation. This paper presents a novel random speckle 3D reconstruction scheme, in which multiple speckle patterns are used and a weighted-fusion-based spatiotemporal matching cost function (STMCF) is proposed to find the corresponding points in speckle stereo image pairs. Furthermore, a parameter optimization method based on differential evolutionary (DE) algorithm is designed for automatically determining the values of all parameters included in STMCF. In this method, since there is no suitable training data with ground truth, we explore a training strategy where a passive stereo vision dataset with ground truth is used as training data and then apply the learned parameter value to the stereo matching of speckle stereo image pairs. Various experimental results verify that our scheme can realize accurate and high-quality 3D reconstruction efficiently and the proposed STMCF exhibits superior performance in terms of accuracy, computation time and reconstruction quality than the state-of-the-art method based on spatiotemporal correlation.
