Title
State Of The Art In The Realistic Modeling Of Plant Venation Systems
Abstract
The modeling of plants is an active area of research in computer graphics and the geometrical modeling of veins is essential for obtaining plant images with a realistic appearance. The venation patterns determine the anisotropy of plant tissues, and affect the shadowing and masking of light incident on these tissues, hence the images. The current trend in the area of plant image generation is to aim for realism using biologically-based and predictable algorithms. Such algorithms do not depend on ad hoc parameters that have to be tuned whenever a new image is being generated. A number of plant image generation algorithms are now available in the literature that have achieved an impressive level of sophistication in many aspects, generating realistic looking images. One notable exception is the geometrical modeling of veins. This remains as an open problem in computer graphics. In this paper we review the state of art of the realistic simulation of plant venation systems from a geometric modeling perspective and propose a specified set of requirements for evaluating possible solutions for this problem.
