Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was introduced for basic forest measurements, such as tree
height and diameter, in the early 2000s. Recent advances in sensor and algorithm …

OBJECTIVE: To describe the challenges faced by families caring for children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) in Brazil and the co** strategies employed. SOURCES …

Procedural modelling deals with (semi‐) automatic content generation by means of a
program or procedure. Among other advantages, its data compression and the potential to …

Although the widespread use of gaming for leisure purposes has been well documented, the
use of games to support cultural heritage purposes, such as historical teaching and learning …

Abstract The RAdiative transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) activity focuses on the
benchmarking of canopy radiative transfer (RT) models. For the current fourth phase of …

Background Modelling plant growth allows us to test hypotheses and carry out virtual
experiments concerning plant growth processes that could otherwise take years in field …

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 …

We extend the open leaf venation model by Runions et al.[RFL∗ 05] to three dimensions
and show that it generates surprisingly realistic tree structures. Model parameters …

Procedural tree models have been popular in computer graphics for their ability to generate
a variety of output trees from a set of input parameters and to simulate plant interaction with …

We integrate into plant models three elements of plant representation identified as important
by artists: posture (manifested in curved stems and elongated leaves), gradual variation of …
