It is no secret that bees are declining in population and that is affecting pollination. Robotic pollinators can address that issue but require precision pollination. FloPE is a flower pose estimation system that uses 3D gaussian splatting to generate high-fidelity digital models of plants. A custom 3D pose annotator is used to annotate Gaussian splatting points.
The models are used to generate photorealistic plant renders with annotated flower poses. The above video has more information on this approach. You can find out more about it here.
