Rail-mounted sensing rig for greenhouse melons

A rail-mounted capture rig with LiDAR, RGB-D and line-scan odometry, built for fruit sizing along the row.

Setup

The rig moves along a rail in the greenhouse and carries a Livox Mid-360 LiDAR and RGB-D cameras. A line-scan odometry system gives the rig’s position along the rail, so every frame can be placed in the same row coordinate frame.

Goal

Measuring fruit size on the vine across a whole row, repeatedly over the season, instead of sampling a few fruits by hand.
