ON USING GRAPHGRAMMARSAND ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION TOSIMULATE AND VISUALIZE THE GROWTH PROCESS OF PLANTS

Part of the book series: Computational Imaging and Vision ((CIVI,volume 32))

Abstract

In this paper we propose a hierarchical approach to representing plants and their environment. The graph grammar is used to simulate the growth process of each plant. This approach is combined with an artificial evolution that models the growth of the whole environment. The proposed approach is illustrated with an example of a set of fern-like structures.
