Zusammenfassung:Plant phenotypic analysis plays a crucial role in plant breeding and transgenic research. Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud is a powerful paradigm in plant phenotypic analysis, which can effectively represent 3D structure and alleviate occlusion-related issues. Moreover, it is imperative to reconstruct incomplete 3D point clouds of plants collected in complex planting scenarios. However, existing methods for plant point cloud completion mainly focus on the extraction of global features and exhibit limitations in effectively aggregating local and global features well, which fails to capture the intricate local geometric structures inherent in plant organs, thereby making it difficult to satisfy completion results. To address these challenges, we proposed a novel fine-grained point cloud completion method, namely, PlantFormer, to generate the complete point cloud from its partial observation. We propose an edge-convolution attention module to aggregate local–global features, which not only captures general geometric structures but also preserves local regional information. Furthermore, a spatial context-aware transformer was introduced to achieve a fine upsample effect on the plant point cloud. More specifically, due to the absence of high-quality datasets, we first conducted PlantCom3D, a plant point cloud completion dataset containing multiple species and growing environments. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed model surpasses comparative models across various metrics. It achieves a C D L 1 of 2.879, with a notable improvement of 12.8 % compared to the previous optimal model.
