Fig. 5From: Three-dimensional branch segmentation and phenotype extraction of maize tassel based on deep learningSchematic of the bottom-up minimal path algorithm for maize tassels branch nodes searching. a the point cloud is clustered from the network segmentation at the top of branch; b the initial growth point at the top of the branch; c the nodal convex hull; d the root node is selected through traversing the maximum convex hull; e the root node is added to the path search queue; f the R nearest contraction region; g the next search node; h the fork node; i the multiple branch nodes; j the multiple shortest path from the branch top nodes to the root nodeBack to article page
