Commercial greenhouse cucumber production is graded by fruit length, which drives harvest scheduling, labour allocation, and logistics. Manual measurement with thread or caliper is accurate but infeasible at commercial scale.
arXiv:2608. 06404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate 3D crop monitoring underpins data-driven precision agriculture by enabling field-scale analysis of plant structure, growth dynamics, and management response.
3D plant phenotyping is notoriously known to be procedure-complicated and of low throughput due to the extensive multi-view imaging, the fragile 3D reconstruction pipeline, and the additional cost from reconstructed geometry to phenotypic extraction. These limitations are further amplified in low-cost data acquisition, where smartphone videos or sparsely sampled multi-view images provide limited view overlap and self-occlusion.
arXiv:2606. 12218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding spatial distribution of fallow land is important for optimizing the food-water (FW) nexus, given fallowing's role in crop rotation and water conservation.
Plant root phenotyping is fundamental to understanding below-ground structures, optimizing crop management, and improving agricultural sustainability. This paper presents a multimodal robotic AI framework that integrates 3D skeleton extraction with language-guided reasoning for interpretable and data-efficient root analysis.
arXiv:2608. 07579v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The AI City Challenge 2026 Track 1 evaluates multi-camera 3D perception in large indoor warehouses under a synthetic-to-real (Sim2Real) setting; depth is available only for training and validation, so inference is RGB-only.
arXiv:2607. 02561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Consumer depth sensors such as the LiDAR scanner on recent iPhones provide metric range, but their useful range is short and their returns are sparse.
arXiv:2608. 11053v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The application of computer vision in agriculture has shown significant potential for improving crop monitoring and precision farming.
Posted by Mark Matthews, Senior Software Engineer, and Dmitry Lagun, Research Scientist, Google Research A person's prior experience and understanding of the world generally enables them to easily infer what an object looks like in whole, even if only looking at a few 2D pictures of it. Yet the capacity for a computer to reconstruct the shape of an object in 3D given only a few images has remained a difficult algorithmic problem for years.
arXiv:2601. 02085v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Strawberry-harvesting robots faced challenges such as poor visual perception, gripper misalignment, empty grasp/misgrasp, and slippage, which reduced harvesting stability and efficiency.
arXiv:2608. 00870v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Panoptic crop mapping requires both delineating individual agricultural parcels and assigning a crop type to each parcel from satellite image time series.
Recent 3D foundation models provide powerful feature representations for point cloud learning by controlling spatial granularity. However, relying on a fixed spatial granularity severely limits generalization in applications like plant phenotyping, where organ morphology and size vary substantially across species and growth stages.
arXiv:2605. 30581v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial visual sim-to-real is often described as transferring from synthetic images to real images, but industrial deployment usually involves a broader mismatch between available evidence and required decisions.
