Model description
Tomato plant modeling system is developed with the integrated platform of Visual Cpp 6.0 and OpenGL. Based on the growth laws and the topological structure’s character of tomato plant. Parametric Lsystem is used to simulate the topological structures of tomato plant. The technique of parametric triangular meshes is used to model different organs of tomato, and the surface-rendering techniques in Computer Graphics are used to render the created shapes of tomato plant at both organ and individual levels. Based on the accumulated temperature model, the system can predict the growth status of tomato plant, and give some suggestion of tomato planting.
