Background:

Accurate classification of filled/unfilled rice grains is crucial for rice breeding and genetic analysis in China, the world's largest producer and consumer.
Traditional manual methods for grain identification are inefficient, lack repeatability, and have low precision.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, automated method for classifying filled/unfilled rice grains.
To improve the efficiency and accuracy of rice grain analysis compared to traditional methods.

Main Methods:

Acquired 3D point cloud data of rice grains using structured light imaging.
Developed algorithms for single grain segmentation and normal vector-based data enhancement.
Improved the PointNet++ deep learning network by adding a Set Abstraction layer and incorporating normal vector maximum pooling for classification.

Main Results:

The Improved PointNet++ achieved a classification accuracy of 98.50%.
This accuracy surpasses traditional machine learning models (e.g., XGboost at 91.99%) and other deep learning models like PointNet (93.75%) and PointConv (92.25%).

Conclusions:

The study demonstrates a novel and highly effective method for filled/unfilled rice grain recognition using improved deep learning on 3D point cloud data.
This automated approach offers significant advantages in precision and efficiency for agricultural applications.
