  • Patent number: 11972562
    Abstract: A method for determining a plant growth curve includes obtaining color images and depth images of a plant to be detected at different time points, performing alignment processing on each color image and each depth image to obtain an alignment image, detecting the color image through a pre-trained target detection model to obtain a target bounding box, calculating an area ratio of the target bounding box in the color image, determining a depth value of all pixel points in the target boundary frame according to the aligned image, performing denoising processing on each depth value to obtain a target depth value, generating a first growth curve of the plant to be detected according to the target depth values and corresponding time points, and generating a second growth curve of the plant to be detected according to the area ratios and the corresponding time points.

  • Patent number: 11954875
    Abstract: A method for determining a height of a plant, an electronic device, and a storage medium are disclosed. In the method, a target image is obtained by mapping an obtained color image with an obtained depth image. The electronic device processes the color image by using a pre-trained mobilenet-ssd network, obtains a detection box appearance of the plant, and extracts target contours of the plant to be detected from the detection box. The electronic device determines a depth value of each of pixel points in the target contour according to the target image. Target depth values are obtained by performing a de-noising on depth values of the pixel points, and a height of the plant to be detected is determined according to the target depth value. The method improves accuracy of height determination of a plant.
