The core volume ratio (CVR) is a key indicator for evaluating the proportion of edible fraction in stone fruits. Traditionally, CVR is determined through destructive sampling by separately measuring the masses of the core and entire fruit. Recently, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (LF-NMRI) has been introduced as a non-destructive alternative, but its sparse sampling limits the ability to achieve accurate spatial and volumetric quantification of fruit quality. To address this limitation, we propose a novel method for high-precision three-dimensional (3D) modeling of stone fruits. The method acquires tomographic LF-NMRI sequences along three orthogonal axes. Each sequence is segmented into pulp and core regions using a SwinUNet deep learning model and converted into point clouds for each view. Point clouds from the three orthogonal views are registered via a genetic algorithm to align structural information from complementary perspectives and fused into a unified 3D model through Poisson surface reconstruction. Using prunes as a representative case, the method enables accurate quantification of core and entire fruit volumes, achieving a CVR estimation with a mean absolute error of 0.13% compared to manual measurements. The proposed three-view reconstruction strategy yields a volumetric error of only 0.73%, significantly outperforming single-view (4.57%) and dual-view (3.73%) approaches. This technology provides a robust and accurate non-destructive solution for 3D internal quality analysis of fruits.
