description The accurate quantification of plant types can provide a scientific basis for crop variety improvement, whereas efficient automatic classification methods greatly enhance crop management and breeding efficiency. For leafy crops such as Chinese cabbage, differences in the plant type directly affect their growth and yield. However, in current agricultural production, the classification of Chinese cabbage plant types largely depends on manual observation and lacks scientific and unified standards. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a method that can quickly and accurately quantify and classify plant types. This study has proposed a method for the rapid and accurate quantification and classification of Chinese cabbage plant types based on point-cloud data processing and the deep learning algorithm PointNet++. First, we quantified the traits related to plant type based on the growth characteristics of Chinese cabbage. K-medoids clustering analysis was then used for the unsupervised classification of the data, and specific quantification of Chinese cabbage plant types was performed based on the classification results. Finally, we combined 1024 feature vectors with 10 custom dimensionless features and used the optimized PointNet++ model for supervised learning to achieve the automatic classification of Chinese cabbage plant types. The experimental results showed that this method had an accuracy of up to 92.4% in classifying the Chinese cabbage plant types, with an average recall of 92.5% and an average F1 score of 92.3%.
