Title: Modeling and acquisition of plant architecture

Authors: Frédéric Boudon

Abstract.  

Virtual plant models are powerful tools to better understand growth and functioning of plants and their  interaction  with  their  environment  (light,  pest  and  disease  propagation,  etc).  However,  numerous  problems  are  raised  for  their  acquisition,  representation,  analysis  and  simulation.  We  have  been  developing  for  several  years  a  modeling  methodology  of  the  structure  and  geometry  of  plants  that  makes it possible to take into account their multi‐scale aspect and exploit it for acquisition. In this talk, I  will present our recent works on the acquisition of complex plant architectures. In the first part, I will  introduce  sketching  based  methods  and  present  the  approach  we  developed  based  on  the  structure  from silhouettes paradigm. Indeed, we claim and show with our prototype that sketching the silhouettes  of foliage at multiple scales is quicker and more intuitive for a user than having to sketch each branch of  a  tree.  This  choice  allows  us  to  incorporate  botanical  knowledge,  enabling  us  to  infer  branches  that  connect in a plausible way to their parent branch and have a correct distribution in 3D. Users have to  give the outlines of the different parts of the tree and an example of structures at each scale to make it  possible for the program to generate a complete structure that the user can finally correct easily. While  this makes it possible to define intuitively plausible virtual models in few minutes, we also address the  problem of reconstructing faithfully actual plant architectures. Using laser scanners is a natural way to  capture such complex, real geometry; however, due to the multi‐resolution nature of trees, it produces  data at different levels of precision. Points set are usually dense on the surface of the trunk and of the  main branches, but only sparsely cover thin branches and small twigs. While previous methods typically  loose  accuracy  by  populating  sparse‐points  regions  with  plausible  structures,  we  propose  a  faithful  reconstruction  method  of  the  tree  skeletal  structure.  This  is  achieved  thanks  to  a  method  locally  adaptive to the different levels of precision of the data that combines a contraction phase and a local  point tracking algorithm. In addition, we developed a quantitative evaluation procedure enabling us to  compare  our  reconstructions  against  expertised  structures  of  real  plants.  We  used  it  to  assess  the  accuracy of our reconstruction algorithm.
