The invention discloses a picking point positioning method which comprises the following steps: obtaining a trained YOLOv3 target detection model, collecting and detecting a fruit growth area image, obtaining the number and positions of fruits in a detection view field, and fusing a
feature extraction network of dense connection and residual idea with the target detection model; judging the numberof fruits in the visual field, and judging the images as a distant view and a close view according to the number; performing
branch segmentation on the close-range image by using a semantic segmentation model to obtain a
branch segmentation image; carrying out target detection on the distant view; judging whether the number of fruits in the
branch segmentation image is 1 or not, if yes, using a single-fruit picking strategy, and if not, using a multi-fruit picking strategy; and acquiring final picking positioning point. According to the method, non-damage picking of mature
bunches of fruits can be achieved, the shear point positions of the mature
bunches of fruits are accurately found and positioned through an
algorithm, fruit shear type picking is achieved, and integrity and picking efficiency of the fruits are guaranteed.
