contents Accurate, high-throughput phenotyping is a critical component of modern crop breeding programs, especially for improving traits such as mechanical stability, biomass production, and disease resistance. Stalk diameter is a key structural trait, but traditional measurement methods are labor-intensive, error-prone, and unsuitable for scalable phenotyping. In this paper, we present a geometry-aware computer vision pipeline for estimating stalk diameter from RGB-D imagery. Our method integrates deep learning-based instance segmentation, 3D point cloud reconstruction, and axis-aligned slicing via Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to perform robust diameter estimation. By mitigating the effects of curvature, occlusion, and image noise, this approach offers a scalable and reliable solution to support high-throughput phenotyping in breeding and agronomic research.
