Abstract:Lanzhou lily is the only sweet lily variety in China,and the weight and volume of its bulbs are key indicators affecting survival rate,yield,and commercial value. To address the challenges of irregular bulb morphology and the low efficiency of manual phenotypic measurements,a three-dimensional phenotypic estimation method that integrated best view selection with the VGGT architecture was proposed. A multidimensional evaluation metric system was constructed based on information entropy,new-point rate,color difference,global features,and view redundancy to select an optimal set of three images as VGGT inputs. The model then performed end-to-end estimation of camera parameters and 3D point clouds. By incorporating Solov2 segmentation masks for 3D projection,precise bulb point cloud segmentation was achieved. Subsequently,totally 14 3D shape features were extracted,and stepwise regression was employed to eliminate multicollinearity effects and build linear prediction models for bulb weight and volume. Furthermore,based on feature importance ranking from a random forest model,nonlinear models,including SVR,KNN,GBR,and BPNN were developed. Experimental results demonstrated that the optimal three-view set achieved over 90% geometric and color coverage. The BPNN models for weight and volume prediction achieved R2 values above 0.95 and MAPE values below 10%. In addition,on a GeForce RTX 3090 platform,the proposed 3D reconstruction process required only took about 3 250 ms,enabling complete 3D measurement of a single sample within 4 s. The research result can provide an efficient and practical technical approach for the automated sorting and quality assessment of Lanzhou lily bulbs.
