Visual Modeling and Simulation of Plant Leaves

Abstract:

Based on the original image of plants leaves, the edge detection method will be used to extract the geometrical morphology of leaves. The characteristic points of the contour can be calculated by Harris method. The contours of plant leaves is constructed by the quadratic B-spline interpolating curve, the leaf vein is generated by L system. The simulation of plant leaves is realized in OpenGL.
