This paper presents a method for automatic fruit detection in vineyards through the inspection of colour images obtained by a low cost RGB-D sensor placed on-board an agricultural vehicle. Image segmentation is obtained by using a pre-trained convolutional neural network, which receives input data, as sub-patches of known size, and performs the classification in a few classes of interest. Output scores are then used to create the probability maps for each class and, thus, pixel-by-pixel segmentation of the grape clusters. Field experiments prove the ability of the proposed processing to successfully segment grape clusters, with accuracy of 87.5%, despite the poor quality of the input images.

Abstract
This paper presents a method for automatic fruit detection in vineyards through the inspection of colour images obtained by a low cost RGB-D sensor placed on-board an agricultural vehicle. Image segmentation is obtained by using a pre-trained convolutional neural network, which receives input data, as sub-patches of known size, and performs the classification in a few classes of interest. Output scores are then used to create the probability maps for each class and, thus, pixel-by-pixel segmentation of the grape clusters. Field experiments prove the ability of the proposed processing to successfully segment grape clusters, with accuracy of 87.5%, despite the poor quality of the input images.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
