摘要:
开发基于计算机视觉的水稻表型技术对精准田间管理和加速育种至关重要,从而持续推动水稻生产的发展。在表型任务中,区分图像组件是在器官尺度上表征植物生长发育的关键前提,能够更深入地了解生态生理过程。然而,由于水稻器官的精细结构和冠层内复杂的光照,这项任务仍然极具挑战性,凸显了对高质量训练数据集的需求。此类数据集非常稀缺,这既是因为缺乏具有代表性的大规模水稻田图像集合,也是因为标注过程非常耗时。为了填补这一空白,我们建立了首个全面的多类水稻语义分割数据集RiceSEG。我们从五个主要水稻种植国(中国、日本、印度、菲律宾和坦桑尼亚)收集了近50,000张高分辨率的地面图像,涵盖了所有生长阶段的6,000多个基因型。从这些原始图像中,选取了3,078个代表性样本,并将其标注为六个类别(背景、绿色植被、衰老植被、稻穗、杂草和浮萍),以构成RiceSEG数据集。值得注意的是,来自中国的子数据集涵盖了从东北到南方的所有主要基因型和水稻生长环境。最先进的卷积神经网络和基于transformer的语义分割模型均被用作基线。虽然这些模型在分割背景和绿色植被方面表现尚可,但在生殖阶段面临困难,此时冠层结构更加复杂且涉及多个类别。这些发现凸显了我们的数据集对于开发水稻及其他作物专用分割模型的重要性。
英文摘要:
Developing computer vision-based rice phenotyping techniques is crucial for precision field management and accelerating breeding, thereby continuously advancing rice production. Among phenotyping tasks, distinguishing image components is a key prerequisite for characterizing plant growth and development at the organ scale, enabling deeper insights into eco-physiological processes. However, due to the fine structure of rice organs and complex illumination within the canopy, this task remains highly challenging, underscoring the need for a high-quality training dataset. Such datasets are scarce, both due to a lack of large, representative collections of rice field images and the time-intensive nature of annotation. To address this gap, we established the first comprehensive multi-class rice semantic segmentation dataset, RiceSEG. We gathered nearly 50,000 high-resolution, ground-based images from five major rice-growing countries (China, Japan, India, the Philippines, and Tanzania), encompassing over 6,000 genotypes across all growth stages. From these original images, 3,078 representative samples were selected and annotated with six classes (background, green vegetation, senescent vegetation, panicle, weeds, and duckweed) to form the RiceSEG dataset. Notably, the sub-dataset from China spans all major genotypes and rice-growing environments from the northeast to the south. Both state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks and transformer-based semantic segmentation models were used as baselines. While these models perform reasonably well in segmenting background and green vegetation, they face difficulties during the reproductive stage, when canopy structures are more complex and multiple classes are involved. These findings highlight the importance of our dataset for developing specialized segmentation models for rice and other crops.
