  • Branch reconstruction and modelling for pruning

    Creator:
    Josyula, Gopala Krishna
    Abstract:
    Successful pruning relies on accurately identifying the 3D structure of tree branches and leaders. However, this task is arduous in an agricultural setting due to the complexity of scenes, the presence of clutter, and variable weather conditions. This project addresses these challenges by leveraging advancements in 2D image segmentation and...
