Abstract:

This paper aims to provide techniques for 3-D digital design and visual simulation of strawberry. Based on the analysis and observation of the morphological structure of strawberry, Ball B-splines based method has been used for modeling the shape of strawberry organs, with use of template technology to describe local detail features and to augment the realistic effects, and several principal control parameters with explicit biological background for these geometric models of organs were extracted. The proposed methods for modeling the 3-D shape of organs and simulating strawberry could be integrated easily with agricultural knowledge, and the generated morphological models have realistic effects. The flexibility and suitability of the proposed methods can be applied to the visual simulation of the different varieties of strawberry.
