Claim One:
1. A method comprising: capturing an image of a plant using an imaging system passing by the plant; generating a point cloud of the plant based on the image; identifying a section of the image corresponding to a ground plane; generating a plurality of skeleton segments based on the point cloud, each skeleton segment representing an individual plant segment of the plant; identifying a set of candidate skeleton segments of the plurality of skeleton segments, each candidate skeleton segment corresponding to a section of the image located near the section of the image corresponding to the ground plane; identifying a section of the image corresponding to a unique plant feature of the plant based on the set of candidate skeleton segments and the sections of the image corresponding to the candidate skeleton segments; classifying one of the candidate skeleton segments as corresponding to the unique plant feature of the plant; and building a plant virtual model based on the skeleton segment classified as the unique plant feature of the plant.
