Application of machine vision in seedling automatic grafting robot

Abstract

Vegetable grafting is one of the most effective means to resist soil-born diseases and to improve yield. Manual grafting has the problems of low production and poor grafting quality, so grafting robot is significant for the development of vegetable grafting production. However, the automation level is still relatively low. So the introduction of computer vision technique into grafting robot has great significance in promoting the intelligent control level in greenhouse. In this paper, development and current status of domestic and foreign automatic grafting machine was introduced simply, and review of recent application of computer vision in seedling automatic grafting robot was summarized in detail.
