Abstract: Phenotypic traits and phenotypic extraction at the seedling stage of oilseed rape play a crucial role in assessing oilseed rape growth, breeding new varieties and estimating yield. Manual phenotyping not only consumes a lot of labor and time costs, but even the measurement process can cause structural damage to oilseed rape plants. Existing crop phenotype acquisition methods have limitations in terms of throughput and accuracy, which are difficult to meet the demands of phenotype analysis. We propose an oilseed rape segmentation and phenotyping measurement method based on 3D Gaussian splatting with improved PointNet++. The CKG-PointNet++ network is designed to integrate CGLU and FastKAN convolutional modules in the SA layer, and introduce MogaBlock and a self-attention mechanism in the FP layer to enhance local and global feature extraction. Experiments show that the method achieves a 97.70% overall accuracy (OA) and 96.01% mean intersection over union (mIoU) on the oilseed rape point cloud segmentation task. The extracted phenotypic parameters were highly correlated with manual measurements, with leaf length and width, leaf area and leaf inclination R 2 of 0.9843, 0.9632, 0.9806 and 0.8890, and RMSE of 0.1621 cm, 0.1546 cm, 0.6892 cm 2 and 2.1144°, respectively. This technique provides a feasible solution for high-throughput and rapid measurement of seedling phenotypes in oilseed rape.
