The invention discloses an
orchard crop yield monitoring
robot and a control method thereof, and relates to the field of agricultural robots. The
robot is composed of a yield monitoring inspection
system and a crawler-type
chassis walking
system. According to the control method disclosed by the invention, the grade of the fruit maturity is determined based on the color characteristics of the fruit and the pre-estimated volume through a visible fruit maturity
estimation method, so that the extraction precision of the fruit in a visual field range under
natural illumination and complex backgrounds is remarkably improved; the total theoretical fruit yield is determined based on the shielding compensation coefficient and the fruit
visual estimation yield through a shielding fruit compensation yield
correction method, and the problem of shielding compensation in the
canopy is solved; a complete panoramic image covering the vertical direction of the
fruit tree canopy is formed through the vertical panoramic splicing method of the
fruit tree canopy, so that the integrity of
monitoring data is ensured. According to the invention, the problems of accurate monitoring of
crop yield and shielding correction in a complex
orchard environment are solved, agricultural digital yield
estimation is assisted, the labor cost is reduced, and the economic benefit is improved.
