Abstract:
A rapid virtual tree pruning method based on color encoding is proposed to address the challenge of interactive pruning operations in 3D space. The requirements and difficulties are analyzed. Based on ParaTree-a parameter-based 3D tree modeling system, a rapid 3D primitive picking method for a large collection of metadata is proposed. It encodes a 3D tree model with 32-bits RGBA colors, and fulfills interactive stem pruning by leveraging the off-screen buffers of GPU and the color encoding. Experimental results showed that our method is accurate, fast, general-purposed, and is compatible with various tree modeling approaches. The proposed method provides a new way to digital type design and pruning for virtual tree planting and management.
