Viewpoint-Driven Simplification of Plant and Tree Foliage

Blog Article

Plants and trees are an essential part of outdoor scenes.They are represented by such a vast number of polygons that performing real-time visualization is still a problem in HAND WASH spite of the advantages of the hardware.Some methods have appeared to solve this drawback based on point- or image-based rendering.However, geometry representation is required in some interactive applications.

This work presents a simplification method that deals with the geometry of the foliage, reducing the number of primitives that represent these objects and making their interactive visualization possible.It is based on an image-based simplification that establishes an order of leaf pruning and reduces the complexity of the canopies of trees and plants.The proposed simplification method is viewpoint-driven and uses the mutual information in order to choose the leaf to prune.Moreover, this simplification method avoids the pruned appearance of the tree that is usually produced when a foliage representation is formed by a reduced number of leaves.

The error introduced every time a leaf is pruned is compensated for if the size of the nearest leaf is altered to preserve the leafy appearance of the foliage.Results demonstrate the good quality 5 Piece Modular Sectional and time performance of the presented work.
