  • Abstract
    The potato operation is a project belonging to the domain of agricultural robotics, or agrotics. It aims to automate pulp sampling of potatoes in order to detect viral diseases. The difficulty of this problem lies in the high variability (shape, texture, colour) of natural objects. Three approaches have been studied, based on contour classification, on thermometry and on active vision and image analysis. Cooperation between robotics, active 3D computer vision and robust image analysis leads to a performant solution
