Implicit Modeling of Tree Surfaces

چکیده
Tree models can be categorized into two classes: global models that represent the developmental form of the entire tree, and local models that represent the geometric details found on the tree surface and leaves. This paper presents new implicit local tree modeling techniques. An existing generalized cylinder blending model is extended to blend eccentric cones, to simulate the reaction wood trees generate at branching points. The bark of trees has been observed to follow the force ow lines of the tree, and a particle ow approximation is used to simulate the texturing of bark on trees at branching points. Since trees are commonly identi ed by the appearance of their bark, we have also attempted to model bark that is typical of a particular species, rather than just realistic in general.

Interactive tools for shape modeling with hierarchical implicit surfaces have been limited both by the high computational cost of visualization, and the lack of techniques for direct surface manipulation. To address the visualization issue, Hierarchical Spatial Caching is developed. This novel technique combines caching and spatial approximation to accelerate queries of the functional model tre...
متن کاملImplicit Representations of Rough Surfaces
Implicit surface techniques provide useful tools for modeling and rendering smooth surfaces. Deriving implicit formulations for fractal representations extends the scope of implicit surface techniques to rough surfaces. Linear fractals modeled by recurrent iterated function systems may be defined implicitly using either geometric distance or escape time. Random fractals modeled using Perlin’s n...
