• Abstract: Image-based yield detection in agriculture could raiseharvest efficiency and cultivation performance of farms. Following this goal, this research focuses on improving instance segmentation of field crops under varying environmental conditions. Five data sets of cabbage plants were recorded under varying lighting outdoor conditions. The images were acquired using a commercial mono camera. Additionally, depth information was generated out of the image stream with Structure-from-Motion (SfM). A Mask R-CNN was used to detect and segment the cabbage heads. The influence of depth information and different colour space representations were analysed. The results showed that depth combined with colour information leads to a segmentation accuracy increase of 7.1%. By describing colour information by colour spaces using light and saturation information combined with depth information, additional segmentation improvements of 16.5% could be reached. The CIELAB colour space combined with a depth information layer showed the best results achieving a mean average precision of 75.

  State-of-the-art approaches improve the discrimination between different depths by introducing a binary-coded aperture (CA) in the lens aperture. Color-coded apertures (CCA) can also produce color misalignment in the captured image which can be utilized to estimate disparity. We propose a CCA with a greater number of color filters and richer spectral information to optically encode relevant depth information in a single snapshot.

We combine the image and metadata regarding capturing conditions embedded into a network, enabling more accurate estimation and transfer between different conditions. Compared to a state-of-the-art deep CNN and a human expert, metadata embedding improves the estimation of the tomato's hue and chroma.
