Creation of Realistic Plants Using Semi-Automatic Parameter Extraction From Photographs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new semi-automatic method for determining parameters for L-based plant modeling systems is introduced. It is shown that many of the parameters necessary to create realistic plants can be extracted semi-automatically from photographs of real plants. By replacing numerical parameters with a more intuitive set of graphical modeling primitives, it is possible to significantly speed up the design process of complex three-dimensional shapes, such as plants. We also explain how to add small scale detail and natural transitions to skeletal models of plants to further improve the design process.

Highway extraction and vehicle detection are two of the most important steps in traffic-flow analysis from multi-frame aerial photographs. The traditional method of deriving traffic flow trajectories relies on manual vehicle counting from a sequence of aerial photographs, which is tedious and time-consuming. This research presents a new framework for semi-automatic highway extraction. The basis...
