CucumberVision framework uses AI for non-contact length estimation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel framework called CucumberVision for non-contact estimation of greenhouse cucumber lengths, crucial for commercial production. The system utilizes an Intel RealSense D435 RGB-D camera and employs a YOLO26n model for segmentation, refined by SAM (ViT-B backbone) for precise masks. A new medial arc spline method (M5) demonstrated superior accuracy, outperforming other evaluated techniques by computing arc length from a cubic spline fitted to the 3D medial axis. AI

IMPACT This research introduces a novel AI-driven approach for automated agricultural measurement, potentially improving efficiency in crop management and logistics.

    Curvature-aware 3D length estimation of greenhouse cucumbers using RGB-D imaging and cubic spline arc-length integration

    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. This paper presents CucumberVision, a non-contact leng…
