摘要： Vision is the most important way for an unmanned picking or plant protection robot to navigate an external environment. To achieve intelligent picking or plant protection, it is essential to obtain target location information. A new marker-controlled watershed (MCW-D) algorithm is proposed for object segmentation. By analyzing the shortcomings of the watershed algorithm and the characteristics of objects, the proposed MCW-D method mainly solves three problems. First, it reduces the influence of shadow and other factors on image color information. Based on histogram specification, secondary mapping is used to reduce the effects of lighting. Second, marker images are selected. All points with markers need to be located in the target object. The hue feature of long jujubes and trees is used as the marker image. Third, a mask image is acquired, which requires a clear boundary between the target and the background. An adaptive angle rotation based on an energy-driven approach is designed to find large differences between the target and the background. In a natural environment, the proposed MCW-D method respectively achieves segmentation accuracies of 94.7% and 93.2% on a jujube dataset and a tree dataset, which exceed the accuracies of widely used machine learning methods. These results promote the development of the forest and fruit economies.
