In this paper, an automatic extraction algorithm is proposed for crop images based on Mask RCNN. First, the Fruits 360 Dataset label is set with Labelme. Then, the Fruits 360 Dataset is preprocessed. Next, the data are divided into a training set and a test set. Additionally, an improved Mask RCNN network model structure is established using the PyTorch 1.8.1 deep learning framework, and path aggregation and features are added to the network design enhanced functions, optimized region extraction network, and feature pyramid network. The spatial information of the feature map is saved by the bilinear interpolation method in ROIAlign. Finally, the edge accuracy of the segmentation mask is further improved by adding a micro-fully connected layer to the mask branch of the ROI output, employing the Sobel operator to predict the target edge, and adding the edge loss to the loss function. Compared with FCN and Mask RCNN and other image extraction algorithms, the experimental results demonstrate that the improved Mask RCNN algorithm proposed in this paper is better in the precision, Recall, Average precision, Mean Average Precision, and F1 scores of crop image extraction results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23091160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T10:59:12Z","timestamp":1630925952000},"page":"1160","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["A Crop Image Segmentation and Extraction Algorithm Based on Mask RCNN"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1716-838X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shijie","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guiling","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4536-8215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bowen","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yawen","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Uddin, M.A., Ayaz, M., Mansour, A., Aggoune, E.M., Sharif, Z., and Razzak, I.
