description To address the inefficiency and significant errors in the manual measurement of phenotypic parameters of <i>Phoebe zhennan</i> seedlings, a non-destructive automated method based on a 3D point cloud was proposed for extracting phenotypic parameters of stem and leaves following stem and leaf segmentation. First, the processed point cloud image was aligned using the Sample Consensus Initial Aligment (SAC-IA) and Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithms to generate a three-dimensional model of the seedlings. The stem point cloud was extracted from the model using the median normalized growth vector-based search (MNVG) method, with the current growth vector refined based on previous growth points and vectors. These corrective processes enhanced the accuracy of stem extraction. The leaves were separated from the stem through streamlined projection, after which the remaining leaf point cloud was individually extracted using the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm. The extracted stem data were used to measure stem length and stem diameter, and for each extracted leaf, leaf length, width, and area were measured, yielding accuracies of 97.7%, 93.2%, 96.4%, 88.02%, and 85.84%, respectively. The results of this study provide a valuable reference for forest breeding and the cultivation of high-quality tree seedlings.
