A new benchmark dataset called UAV3DCrop has been introduced for evaluating 3D reconstruction methods in agricultural settings using unmanned aerial vehicles. The dataset comprises 88,830 images from 91 scenes across various crops, captured with high resolution and ground sampling distance. It is designed to test both scene-optimized methods like Neural Radiance Fields and 3D Gaussian Splatting variants, as well as pretrained feed-forward models, across different metrics including appearance, depth, and canopy height recovery. Current 3D reconstruction techniques show varying performance across these tasks, indicating that no single method is universally optimal for agronomic applications, and some struggle with metric scale recovery.
