Method of extracting number of stem and tillering for wheat under field condition

Abstract

A field wheat stem tillering number extraction method, including: acquiring field wheat point clouds by means of a LiDAR, and extracting any row of wheat point clouds in a research area; projecting a Y axis to a plane, and retaining an X and Z axis; applying adaptive layering to obtain number of clusters of the wheat row; applying hierarchical clustering analysis to obtain tillering number of each wheat cluster; and further obtaining stem tillering number of the whole wheat row, so as to extract a field wheat stem tillering number. The feasibility of an algorithm is verified by comparing the wheat stem tillering number extracted by means of the method with an actually measured field stem tillering number, and the method realizes rapid, accurate and nondestructive extraction of a large-field crop stem tillering number and provides theoretical basis and technical support for extraction of the field wheat stem tillering number.
