A Critical Appraisal of the Box Counting Method to Assess the Fractal Dimension of Tree Crowns
In this paper, we study the application of the box counting method (BCM) to estimate the fractal dimension of 3D plant foliage. We use artificial crowns with known theoretical fractal dimension to characterize the accuracy of the BCM and we extend the approach to 3D digitized plants. In particular, errors are experimentally characterized for the estimated values of the fractal dimension. Result...
متن کاملA method for 3D reconstruction of tree crown volume from photographs: assessment with 3D-digitized plants.
We developed a method for reconstructing tree crown volume from a set of eight photographs taken from the N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW. This photographic method of reconstruction includes three steps. First, canopy height and diameter are estimated from each image from the location of the topmost, rightmost and leftmost vegetated pixel; second, a rectangular bounding box around the tree is con...
متن کاملFoliage randomness and light interception in 3-D digitized trees: an analysis from multiscale discretization of the canopy
Light models for vegetation canopies based on the turbid medium analogy are usually limited by the basic assumption of random foliage dispersion in the canopy space. The objective of this paper was to assess the effect of three possible sources of non-randomness in tree canopies on light interception properties. For this purpose, four threedimensional (3-D) digitized trees and four theoretical ...
متن کاملApollonian Circumcircles of IFS Fractals
The attractors of Iterated Function Systems in Euclidean space IFS fractals have been the subject of great interest for their ability to visually model a wide range of natural phenomena. Indeed computer-generated plants are often modeled using 3D IFS fractals, and thus their extent in virtual space is a fundamental question, whether for collision detection or ray tracing. A great variety of alg...
متن کاملCantorian Fractal Space- Time Fluctuations in Turbulent Fluid Flows and the Kinetic Theory of Gases
Fluid flows such as gases or liquids exhibit space-time fluctuations on all scales extending down to molecular scales. Such broadband continuum fluctuations characterise all dynamical systems in nature and are identified as selfsimilar fractals in the newly emerging multidisciplinary science of nonlinear dynamics and chaos. A cell dynamical system model has been developed by the author to quant...
