Review of Fruit Tree Image Segmentation
arXiv:2412.14631 · doi:10.3390/agriculture15212239
Abstract
Fruit tree image segmentation is an essential problem in automating a variety of agricultural tasks such as phenotyping, harvesting, spraying, and pruning. Many research papers have proposed a diverse spectrum of solutions suitable to specific tasks and environments. The review scope of this paper is confined to the front views of fruit trees and based on 158 relevant papers collected using a newly designed crawling review method. These papers are systematically reviewed based on a taxonomy that sequentially considers the method, image, task, and fruit. This taxonomy will assist readers to intuitively grasp the big picture of these research activities. Our review reveals that the most noticeable deficiency of the previous studies was the lack of a versatile dataset and segmentation model that could be applied to a variety of tasks and environments. Six important future research tasks are suggested, with the expectation that these will pave the way to building a versatile tree segmentation module.
