Abstract Background The 3D point cloud is the most direct and effective data form for studying plant structure and morphology. In point cloud studies, the point cloud segmentation of individual plants to organs directly determines the accuracy of organ-level phenotype estimation and the reliability of the 3D plant reconstruction. However, highly accurate, automatic, and robust point cloud segmentation approaches for plants are unavailable. Thus, the high-throughput segmentation of many shoots is challenging. Although deep learning can feasibly solve this issue, software tools for 3D point cloud annotation to construct the training dataset are lacking. Results We propose a top-to-down point cloud segmentation algorithm using optimal transportation distance for maize shoots. We apply our point cloud annotation toolkit for maize shoots, Label3DMaize, to achieve semi-automatic point cloud segmentation and annotation of maize shoots at different growth stages, through a series of operations, including stem segmentation, coarse segmentation, fine segmentation, and sample-based segmentation. The toolkit takes ∼4–10 minutes to segment a maize shoot and consumes 10–20% of the total time if only coarse segmentation is required. Fine segmentation is more detailed than coarse segmentation, especially at the organ connection regions. The accuracy of coarse segmentation can reach 97.2% that of fine segmentation. Conclusion Label3DMaize integrates point cloud segmentation algorithms and manual interactive operations, realizing semi-automatic point cloud segmentation of maize shoots at different growth stages. The toolkit provides a practical data annotation tool for further online segmentation research based on deep learning and is expected to promote automatic point cloud processing of various plants.

Local Feature Extraction

Semantic segmentation of the sensed point cloud data plays a significant role in scene understanding and reconstruction, robot navigation, etc. This work presents a Graph Convolutional Network integrating K-Nearest Neighbor searching (KNN) and Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors (VLAD). KNN searching is utilized to construct the topological graph of each point and its neighbors. Then, we perform convolution on the edges of constructed graph to extract representative local features by multiple Multilayer Perceptions (MLPs). Afterwards, a trainable VLAD layer, NetVLAD, is embedded in the feature encoder to aggregate the local and global contextual features. The designed feature encoder is repeated for multiple times, and the extracted features are concatenated in a jump-connection style to strengthen the distinctiveness of features and thereby improve the segmentation. Experimental results on two datasets show that the proposed work settles the shortcoming of insufficient local feature extraction and promotes the accuracy (mIoU 60.9% and oAcc 87.4% for S3DIS) of semantic segmentation comparing to existing models.
