Abstract
This paper describes a method to recognize a branch structure of a fruit tree. We can identify fruits and branches using the branch structure. Identification of them enables us to gather data of each fruit and branch. Collected data can be utilized for growing management and sales. We describe a method to obtain three-dimensional branch structure from the point cloud. We succeeded in recognizing a simple dummy fruit tree. We propose a method to stably recognize the same branch structure. We also tested the recognizing algorithm using a real fruit tree (a persimmon tree). We could recognize correct branches from point clouds that did not have an occlusion area and unnecessary points such as leaves.
