An algorithm for simulation and visualization of plant shoots gorwth

Abstract

The development of plant growth at each time step has been used the iteration of Lindenmayer systems (L-systems), but the animation was not smooth and continuous. This thesis proposed an animating plant growth in L-systems by mean of the parametric functional symbols to control the length, size and position of each component of the plant. As a consequence, the development of plant growth became smoother and more natural as well as realistic. The resulting prototype can be used to generate a realistic model of any plant based on bracketed L-systems.
