A Survey on Applications of Implicit Surfaces to 3D Plant Modeling

  

  • Online:2010-06-30 Published:2015-08-11

Abstract: The fundamental ideas and key techniques in 3D plant modeling using implicit surfaces are analyzed in detail, including BlobTree, blending, precise contact modeling, convolution surfaces based on line segment primitive with polynomial density distribution and plant texture generation. In addition, visualization methods for implicit models are summarized. Finally, some discussions to the future work in this field are provided.

Key words: computer application, 3D plant modeling, implicit surface, realistic display, surface modeling, visualization
