Abstract:	The paper describes a set of simulated and real-world experiments to determine the total leaf area and fruit volume of a fruit tree using 3-dimensional data gathered from colour stereo images. Initially, the accuracy of the stereo algorithms is determined, and then the method for leaf area computation is developed and tested on particular trees with a known leaf area. Finally, leaf area computation is carried out on a number of images of real fruit trees obtained in the ICT-AGRI project 3D-Mosaic. Furthermore, limitations of the system are shown using the example of fruit volume and leaf area computation from orchard data. Several stereo algorithms are compared with regard to their accuracy and performance. The experimental system consisting of several sensors and software components is briefly explained, enabling rebuilding of the system with minimum effort with respect to construction and software development. Lastly, recommendations are proposed for the scientific and industrial teams interested in similar problems on selecting sensors and open-source and BSD software components to successfully approach this complex problem.
