Research on the Rice Leaf Morphological Formation and its Visualization

Abstract:

This paper firstly summarizes the morphological characteristics of rice leaf through observation of the rice leaf growth process. And then the mathematical model of the rice leaf growing is established based on experimental data. In this model, the vectorization of rice leaf morphology and growth process is realized by only several explicit biological parameters. The visualization of the rice leaf growth process is realized in computer by technique of computer graphics and the combination of VC++ and OpenGL. The simulation results show that the proposed model can simulate the growth process of the rice leaf very well on the computer easily with less parameter.
