Computational Vegetation Group focuses on digital twins of plants, particularly on digital tree models. Building on Dr. Benes’s 25 years of experience, we research the shape, structure, and function of vegetation. We study the plant’s shape, development over time, and interaction with its environment (light, water, wind, temperature). Most of the work has been done in collaboration with our colleagues and past members, listed below.
3D Vegetation Reconstruction - Digital Twins
Together with our collaborators, we have developed algorithms for AI-based 3D tree reconstruction from photographs, point clouds, inverse procedural models of trees as L-systems, and developmental models programmed as simulation systems. The input to this problem is an existing tree represented as an image, point cloud, or geometry. The goal is to find a functional-structural plant model (digital twin) that can be used in simulating “what-if” scenarios. The figure below from inverse procedural modeling of trees shows such a scenario. The input tree on the left is analyzed, and the simulation parameters that can reproduce it are found. Having the digital twin, the tree can be regrown in a different environment (right).
Together with our collaborators, we have developed algorithms that allow for finding genetic traits and 3D reconstruction for phenotyping facilities. In particular, our voxel carving algorithm for sorghum has been used to identify the gene that controls its branching angle.
The figure below shows the 3D reconstruction of maize, where (a) is the side and top view of a procedurally generated 3D
model of a maize plant, (b) shows a voxelized version of the original 3D model, and (c) a reconstructed 3D model generated using the voxel carving.
A recent paper discusses current challenges and future of agricultural genomes to phenomes in the USA. It is a result of a three day workshop at Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative.
Deep Neural Models of Vegetation
We have developed algorithms that encode tree structure and behavior as a deep neural model. In particular, it encodes tree branchlets as a latent space that can be then used to create novel trees or reconstruct existing from point clouds.
Vegetation Simulation and Modeling
The video below shows the tree’s developmental and immediate response to wind. This model captures the physics response of the tree shape to the long and short-term influence of wind.
The developmental model can show climbing plants (Honorable mention from the Best Papers Committee Eurographics 2017), and there was also a paper in 2002 on the same topic.
The tree environmental response of the tree can be estimated from its geometry. The response can then be used to simulate the tree response to a different environment interactively, an approach we called plastic trees. The reconstructed model is environmentally sensitive and responds to light or obstacles, as shown in this video.
Ecosystems and Urban Forests
Entire landscapes can be authored by combining ecosystems and erosion, as shown in this paper. An urban forest can also be considered a special case of an ecosystem, as shown in this, where we find tree location, and we generate an inverse procedural model showing where and how to plant the trees. An early paper considered the urban forest as an unbalanced ecosystem, where the disturbance is caused by pruning, removing unwanted plants, planting in order, etc. Several earlier works studied the effect of virtual agents on ecosystems. An interesting approach is to simulate ecosystems interactively and even while considering animals
We have also developed the first algorithm that finds the location of trees in an urban environment (urban forest) that has also been used and extended for tree counting. The figure below shows the result of the procedural tree positioning in a hypothetical scenario of Central Park in New York. An older paper also shows urban forests as affected by how people care about the trees.
One of the critical aspects is the plant development. Our developmental model allows for creating windy trees that show the urban forest under the influence of wind.
We also studied the effect of pruning on orchards and co-developed an automatic pruning optimization algorithm that finds what branch should be removed to maximize light intake of a tree.
Validation
One of the open problems is the validation of the computer-generated models. Together with our collaborators, we have developed the first perceptual model called ICTree for assessing the perceived realism of tree models. An AI-based model was trained on one million user evaluations and can predict the perceived quality of the tree model either from its geometry or an image. An example below shows an editing session and the feedback on the metric.
