The invention discloses a tree three-dimensional
reconstruction method based on unmanned aerial vehicle
aerial photo sequence images. According to the tree three-dimensional
reconstruction method, firstly, characteristic regions of a crown are extracted in a
watershed partition method, then, the characteristic regions are matched by calculating region correlation coefficients in an
RGB color space, matched characteristic dot pairs are extracted, depth information is calculated through the
binocular stereo vision principle combined with imaging models of an
aerial photo camera, and finally a three-dimensional model of a tree is constructed based on L
system laws. Compared with the prior art, the tree three-dimensional
reconstruction method has the advantages that grain, color and outline information of the crown are considered, and the characteristic spot set which can show the crown complicated structure is fully extracted; in addition, the depth information of the characteristic spot set is calculated according to complicated imaging models of the
aerial photo camera with shake, transverse moving and the like of the camera in the aerial photo process of an unmanned aerial vehicle considered, a reasonable
tree modeling approach is adopted, and therefore reasonable approximate three-dimensional models of the tree are constructed.
