This paper reviews the past and current trends of three-dimensional (3D) modeling and
reconstruction of plants and trees. These topics have been studied in multiple research …

User interfaces in modeling have traditionally followed the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu,
Pointer) paradigm. Though functional and very powerful, they can also be cumbersome and …

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic technique for modeling plants directly from
images. Our image-based approach has the distinct advantage that the resulting model …

We present a method for generating realistic models of temperate-climate trees and shrubs.
This method is based on the biological hypothesis that the form of a develo** tree …

In this paper, we propose an approach for generating 3D models of natural-looking trees
from images that has the additional benefit of requiring little user intervention. While our …

We present a method for producing 3D tree models from input photographs with only limited
user intervention. An approximate voxel-based tree volume is estimated using image …

We present a system for quickly and easily designing three-dimensional (3D) models of
botanical trees using free-hand sketches and additional example-based editing operations …

TreeSketch is a system for modeling complex trees that look natural yet are creatively
designed. The system integrates procedural tree generation with a multi-touch tablet …

Plant breeding is an extremely important route to genetic improvements that can increase
yield and plant adaptability. Genetic improvement requires careful measurement of plant …

Procedural methods for terrain synthesis are capable of creating realistic depictions of
heightfield terrains with little user intervention. However, users often do wish to intervene in …
