• Authors: Harry Freeman, Eric Schneider, Chung Hee Kim, Moonyoung Lee, George Kantor
• Abstract summary: We present a method for creating high-quality 3D models of sorghum panicles for phenotyping in breeding experiments. This is achieved with a novel reconstruction approach that uses seeds as semantic landmarks in both 2D and 3D. We demonstrate that using this method to estimate seed count and weight for sorghum outperforms count extrapolation from 2D images.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present a method for creating high-quality 3D models of sorghum panicles for phenotyping in breeding experiments. This is achieved with a novel reconstruction approach that uses seeds as semantic landmarks in both 2D and 3D. To evaluate the performance, we develop a new metric for assessing the quality of reconstructed point clouds without having a ground-truth point cloud. Finally, a counting method is presented where the density of seed centers in the 3D model allows 2D counts from multiple views to be effectively combined into a whole-panicle count. We demonstrate that using this method to estimate seed count and weight for sorghum outperforms count extrapolation from 2D images, an approach used in most state of the art methods for seeds and grains of comparable size.

• On Triangulation as a Form of Self-Supervision for 3D Human Pose Estimation [57.766049538913926]
  Supervised approaches to 3D pose estimation from single images are remarkably effective when labeled data is abundant. Much of the recent attention has shifted towards semi and (or) weakly supervised learning. We propose to impose multi-view geometrical constraints by means of a differentiable triangulation and to use it as form of self-supervision during training when no labels are available.

• From 2D to 3D: Re-thinking Benchmarking of Monocular Depth Prediction [80.67873933010783]
  We argue that MDP is currently witnessing benchmark over-fitting and relying on metrics that are only partially helpful to gauge the usefulness of the predictions for 3D applications. This limits the design and development of novel methods that are truly aware of - and improving towards estimating - the 3D structure of the scene rather than optimizing 2D-based distances. We propose a set of metrics well suited to evaluate the 3D geometry of MDP approaches and a novel indoor benchmark, RIO-D3D, crucial for the proposed evaluation methodology.

We demonstrate a practical use of this technique for counting strawberry achenes which is used as a fruit quality measure in phenotyping applications.

  State-of-the-art methods for driving-scene LiDAR-based perception often project the point clouds to 2D space and then process them via 2D convolution. A natural remedy is to utilize the 3D voxelization and 3D convolution network. We propose a new framework for the outdoor LiDAR segmentation, where cylindrical partition and asymmetrical 3D convolution networks are designed to explore the 3D geometric pattern.

• Stem-leaf segmentation and phenotypic trait extraction of maize shoots from three-dimensional point cloud [8.392251372468412]
  We propose an automatic stem-leaf segmentation method consisting of three main steps: skeleton extraction, coarse segmentation based on the skeleton, fine segmentation based on stem-leaf classification. Six phenotypic parameters can be accurately and automatically measured, including plant height, crown diameter, stem height and diameter, leaf width and length. The proposed algorithm could precisely segment not only the fully expanded leaves, but also the new leaves wrapped together and close together.
