MISF: A Method for Measurement of Standing Tree Size via Multi-Vision Image Segmentation and Coordinate Fusion
With the development of computer vision technology, its applications in forestry are steadily becoming wider. To address the problems of inconvenience in transporting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as the complex operation of large instruments for measurement, a new method based on multi-vision image segmentation and coordinate fusion (MISF) is proposed in this paper for measuring the size of standing trees. In MISF, after images of a standing tree are captured using a camera from multiple angles, a semantic segmentation method based on deep learning is used to segment the main body of the standing tree and automatically detect the edge feature points. Next, the effects of visual field splicing and fusion are analyzed collaboratively using the correlations among images, so as to restore the three-dimensional spatial information of the feature points of the tree to be measured. Lastly, the size attributes of the standing tree, such as height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and crown width, are automatically measured. The urban environment measurement experiment showed that the relative errors of tree height, DBH, and crown width measured using the proposed method, i.e., MISF, were 1.89%, 2.42%, and 3.15%, respectively, representing a significant enhancement compared with binocular measurement. On the one hand, the experimental results exhibited a high degree of measurement accuracy; therefore, MISF can be used for the management inventory of typical forests. On the other hand, MISF cannot be used if a tree’s images cannot be acquired due to environmental or other reasons.
