Research on Machine Vision in Forestry Pluck System

Forestry industry is an important part of nation's economy. In this paper, a machine vision system is presented as a key module of Camellia oleifera pluck robot. In order to cut fruit image up from complicate background, SOFM neural network and gray thresh is used in image segmentation. In SOFM method, take R-B,G-R,G-B and hue H tunnel as input feature vectors, use self-organization network to clustering can get the best effect. in gray threshold method can take various of method to get the best threshold, such as PSO and GA algorithm, and MATLAB includes the toolboxes. At last use noise ratio, area ratio, divided time, Fourier boundary descriptors and other indicators to assess the accuracy of segmentation. The methods have the significance to the current and subsequent research of forestry pluck device.
