Study in Plant Modeling and Animation

Abstract

Abstract: Plant modeling and animation synthesis was widely used in many fields, such as virtual plant, 3D animation, games and so on. The techniques of plant modeling and animation synthesis were reviewed. Plant modeling techniques were discussed in three aspects: fractal and L system approach, imaged-based methods, methods based on three-dimensional measurement data. Plant animation synthesis techniques were analyzed in four aspects: physically-based animation, procedural animation, video-based animation and data-driven animation. Furthermore, some issues in future research were addressed, and further trends and research directions were discussed.

Key words: plant modeling, plant animation, animation synthesis, review
