A world positioning method for apple fruits based on information fusion

An information acquisition system was designed and built, which consisted of a Kinect, a differential GPS receiver and an attitude sensor, and a world coordinates calculation approach for apple fruits in a color image was developed depending on this system. The color image and corresponding depth image of fruit tree were taken by the second generation Kinect which was an RGB-D camera, and the world position and the spatial attitude information was obtained by the differential GPS and the digital attitude sensor respectively according to the information acquisition system. Firstly, the camera coordinates of apples' centers were computed by fusing both the RGB and depth information of the color and depth images. Secondly, an absolute positioning model was established according to the three-dimension space coordinate transformation algorithmto calculate the world coordinates of apples, by which the unique world space position of each apple could be acquired. The experiment was carried out, and the results showed that the mean error of the relative positioning was 0.035 m, and for the absolute positioning, the mean distance error of the longitude reached 0.117 m, that of the latitude reached 0.437 m, and that of the altitude reached 0.145 m.
