PlantC2USeg: Cross-Scale Consistent Pre-Training for Few-Shot Unified Plant Point Cloud Segmentation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

PlantC2USeg is a deep transfer‑learning framework that uses cross‑scale consistency learning and an information‑restricted decoder to improve plant point cloud segmentation. It achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on Soybean3D and ShapeNet Part, and demonstrates strong few‑shot generalization across species and sensing conditions. The method reduces the need for large annotated datasets and lowers adaptation overhead for new plant species.

Scale Matters: Adaptive Granularity Selection for Cross-Species 3D Plant Organ Segmentation

The paper introduces AGS-PlantSeg, a few‑shot 3D plant organ segmentation method that uses the frozen Utonia foundation model and Adaptive Granularity Selection (AGS) to dynamically choose optimal spatial granularity for each plant. By extracting tailored geometric features for a lightweight MLP head, AGS-PlantSeg achieves superior cross‑species generalization, reaching an average mIoU of 88.9% and outperforming fixed‑granularity baselines by 2.5 points across PLANesT‑3D, Pheno4D, and Crops3D datasets. The approach requires minimal annotated data yet competes with fully supervised, plant‑specific architectures.

AT-ViT: Area-Targeted Multi-View Vision Transformer with Cross-Attention and Multi-Scale Patching for Plant Trait Recognition in Herbarium Images

AT‑ViT is a dual‑branch Vision Transformer that processes both raw herbarium scans and their segmentation masks through a multi‑scale, multi‑view cross‑attention fusion. It uses a mask‑guided patch weighting scheme to emphasize plant regions and suppress background artifacts, thereby encouraging plant‑centric representations. In trait classification tasks such as leaf base shape and thorns, AT‑ViT consistently outperforms baselines, improves spatial attention grounding (IoU_p +15.66 to +18.03 pp, IoU_b –27.92 to –31.02 pp), and shows greater robustness to synthetic background perturbations, surpassing ResNet101 by up to +32.32 accuracy points and CrossViT by up to +5.07 points. whyItMatters":"The model addresses shortcut learning caused by background cues in herbarium images, leading to more accurate and interpretable plant trait recognition."
