Results The following figures illustrate the use of a topology plus branching points to produce a geometric model of a tree.
Example results: (a) Plant topology and branching points; (b) geometric model. Summary This project has presented a new, biologically inspired method for modelling plants. It allows plant architectures to be described concisely, using existing concepts, such as branching point types and a graph that is used to specify the topology. This form of model enables realistic branching structures to be modelled and should appeal to a broader audience of modellers, in comparison to previous systems. Furthermore, these branching structures can include stochastic variation of individual components, which enables entire forests of plants to be created from a single model. This method presented here is fairly unique and in addition, it is quite flexible and extensible. Therefore, the scope of the method and its applications is open-ended. Future research is key to the longevity of this method. Hopefully, with this research as a foundation, others will be able to continue to succeed in this endeavour. |
