Title
Ray Tracing as a tool for visualization of pathogen spread in natural forest stands
Abstract
This paper describes the application of ray tracing, rendering, and morphing technology to the study and analysis of the spread of dwarf mistletoe. The practical problems involved in examining the spread and speed of such a slow pathogen, with such serious economic consequences, is illustrated. Tbe utility of applying this standard graphics technology to similar forest diseases of this type is also established. Practical examples of this technology transfer are given on a database of 6000 trees with information collected over 15 years.
