Modelling Compound Leaves Using Implicit Contours
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a method for modelling compound leaves in plants. The layout of leaf lobes is captured by a branching skeleton generated using an L-system. The leaf margin is then traced around the skeleton. Finally, the surface bounded by the margin can be bent and complemented with a relief, if these features are found in the real leaf. The paper focuses on the specification and tracing of the margin, and includes references to the techniques described in the literature for performing the other tasks. The margin is defined as an implicit contour — a one-dimensional counterpart of implicit surfaces used previously in computer graphics. Techniques for specifying and tracing the contour are discussed in detail.

Temporal Tracking With Implicit Templates
This work is devoted to the segmentation and tracking of structures undergoing large deformations in an image sequence. The overall goal is the modelling of complex moving and deforming structures that simultaneously brings compression of the data, segmentation and tracking of the structures on temporal sequences of images. Deforming structures are approximated by implicit templates, deened as ...
متن کاملSubvoxel model-based 3D segmentation using implicit snakes
Building accurate representations of the surfaces of bones in 3D medical images is an important task in many computer-assisted surgery procedures. We rst present a survey of the existing solutions to this problem. Then, we give the results of experiments on new 2D and 3D deformable models. We propose to maximize the correlation of raw image values along contours parallel to the surface of bones...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Method of Recognizing Plant Species by Leaf Shapes
In order to recognize plant species from their shapes, shapes of contours of leaves can be used. However, contours of leaves are complicated and have variations. In order to deal with the complexities and variations of contours of leaves, a hierarchical representation of leaves is presented in this paper. First, global structures and shapes of leaves are represented by polygons whose vertices a...
متن کاملClipart Rendering with Dynamic Particle Systems
We present in this paper a new particle-based method for sampling and rendering several types of the nonphotorealistic feature contours on implicit surfaces: silhouette, shadow, specular shadow and suggestive contours. We introduce a curve adhesion behavior for dynamic particles that brings up the possibility to render any contour that is defined as an intersection of two implicit surfaces. In ...
