Abstract

Individual plant recognition is a big challenge in the agricultural robotics. Implementation of sensor technologies and algorithms for automatic plant phenotyping are of increasing importance [3]. For an individual plant phenotyping, a multi-camera network is required. The problem of camera calibration is the focus of this research. In this paper, we present a novel extrinsic camera calibration method, developed to be applied in agricultural field.
