摘要： The canopy volume of fruit trees is an important input for the precise and varying application of pesticides in orchards. The fixed mesh division method is mostly used to calculate canopy volumes with variable target-oriented spraying. To reduce the influence of the working speed on the detection accuracy under a fixed mesh width division, the cuboid accumulation of divided areas (CADAs), which is a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) online detection method for a fruit tree canopy volume based on dynamic mesh division, is proposed in this paper. In the method, the area is divided according to the number of unilateral nozzles of the sprayer in the canopy height direction of the fruit tree, and the mesh width is dynamically adjusted according to the change in the working speed in the moving direction of the sprayer. To verify the accuracy and applicability of the method, the simulation canopy and peach tree canopy detection experiments were carried out. The test results show that the CADA method can be used to calculate the contour and volume of the canopy. However, detection errors easily occur at the edge of the canopy, resulting in a detection error of 8.33% for the simulated canopy volume. The CADA method has a good detection accuracy under different moving speeds and fruit tree canopy sizes. At a speed of 1 m/s, the detection accuracy of the canopy volume reaches 99.18%. Compared with the existing canopy volume calculation methods based on the alpha-shape algorithm and canopy meshing-profile characterization (CMPC), the detection accuracy of the CADA method is 2.73% and 7.22% better, respectively. This method can not only reduce the influence of the moving speed on the detection accuracy of the canopy volume, but also improve the detection accuracy. Thus, this method can provide theoretical support for the research and development of target-oriented variable spraying control systems for orchards.
