The marked saplings are amenable to trimming, and can be trimmed by spraying pesticides and pruning to ensure the normal growth of these saplings. The saplings that exceed this specific threshold are subjected to the next segmentation processing; S4: After measurement, the point cloud data is segmented by the point cloud automatic segmentation system, and the saplings to be isolated are heavily marked and located, facilitating the user to perform the next removal process on these saplings.

[0014] Referring to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 4 , the point cloud automatic segmentation method based on deep learning algorithm provided by the present invention includes S1: Before the point cloud of the saplings is automatically segmented, the surveyor needs to accurately divide the point cloud area and at the same time perform area isolation processing; S2: After the area isolation is completed, the surveyor prepares various measurement methods to perform omnidirectional photogrammetry processing on the point cloud area; S3: The measurement results are compared and combined with big data, and the combined data is summarized; S301: Statistically process the summarized results, take a range value of the relative sapling height, thickness and shape, and measure the number of all saplings within the compound range value through point cloud; S302: Extract the information of the saplings that do not meet the range value of the sapling height, thickness and shape; S303: Compare the extracted sapling information with big data again, and set a specific threshold outside the sapling range value; S304: Mildly mark the saplings that do not exceed this specific threshold. The saplings marked this time are amenable to trimming. They can be trimmed by spraying pesticides and pruning to ensure the normal growth of these saplings. The saplings that exceed this specific threshold are subjected to the next segmentation process; S4: The point cloud data after measurement is segmented by the point cloud automatic segmentation system, and the saplings to be isolated are heavily marked and located, facilitating the user to perform the next removal process on these saplings. Among them, to achieve the purpose of data acquisition, the present device is implemented by the following technical solutions: The measurement methods described in S2 include terrestrial three-dimensional laser scanning acquisition, vehicle-mounted MMS acquisition, handheld laser scanning acquisition, and unmanned aerial vehicle scanning acquisition. Among them, to achieve the purpose of measurement and calculation, the present device is implemented by the following technical solutions: The photogrammetry described in S2 can obtain a high-precision three-dimensional model through a series of calculations on two-dimensional images, and in this process, we can also obtain point cloud data.

[0015] The usage process of the present invention is as follows: First, the staff first locates the sapling area to be measured to achieve an isolation effect, making the area fixed during point cloud detection, thereby making the positioning effect more accurate. After isolation, information collection methods including terrestrial three-dimensional laser scanning acquisition, vehicle-mounted MMS acquisition, handheld laser scanning acquisition, and unmanned aerial vehicle scanning acquisition are used to collect information on the saplings in the isolated area. The collected information is compared and screened with big data through a computer. The data on the regular length characteristics, thickness characteristics, and shape characteristics of saplings in the big data are compared and screened with the data of the saplings in the detected area. Then, the saplings after screening are summarized, the results after summarization are statistically analyzed, a range value of the relative sapling height, thickness, and shape is taken, and the number of saplings within the composite range value of all saplings is measured by point cloud. The information of the saplings that do not meet the range values of sapling height, thickness, and shape is extracted, and the extracted sapling information is compared with big data again. A specific threshold outside the sapling range value is set, and the saplings that do not exceed this specific threshold are lightly marked. The saplings marked this time are amenable to trimming and can be trimmed by spraying pesticides and pruning to ensure the normal growth of these saplings. The saplings that exceed this specific threshold are subjected to the next segmentation process. The number of saplings to be processed is summarized, and then calculated by photogrammetry. Photogrammetry can obtain a high-precision three-dimensional model through a series of calculations on two-dimensional images, thereby obtaining their specific positions. Multiple underdeveloped saplings are individually and heavily marked and located, and the marking process is carried out by polar coordinate positioning to facilitate the user to transplant specific saplings. This method can accurately and quickly mark and locate the incompletely developed saplings inside the sapling forest, greatly improving the work efficiency and reducing the loss of labor costs, bringing great benefits to growers. In addition, this device uses a three-dimensional modeling system to quickly calculate the scanning results and displays them in detail after the calculation, bringing great convenience to users. At the same time, this device uses a variety of scanning devices to scan and process the point cloud area, making the detection effect more perfect.
