The modeling of plants is an active area of research in computer graphics and the geometrical modeling of veins is essential for obtaining plant images with a realistic appearance. The venation patterns determine the anisotropy of plant tissues, and affect the shadowing and masking of light incident on these tissues, hence the images. The current trend in the area of plant image generation is t...

Virtual plants are computer models that recreate the structure and simulate the development of plants. Virtual plant modeling is an interdisciplinary area combining mathematical formalisms, biological knowledge, and computer graphics techniques. An important modeling method is based on the theory of Lindenmayer systems (L−systems). At present, L−system models make it possible to: (a) accurately...

AutomationML is an emerging IEC standard for storing and exchanging engineering data among the heterogeneous software tools involved in the engineering of production systems. One important subset of such engineering data is the plant behavior. To make this data exchangeable, AutomationML uses the existing industry data format PLCopen XML. However, at the development stages of production systems...
