This paper firstly summarizes the morphological characteristics of rice leaf through observation of the rice leaf growth process. And then the mathematical model of the rice leaf growing is established based on experimental data. In this model, the vectorization of rice leaf morphology and growth process is realized by only several explicit biological parameters. The visualization of the rice leaf growth process is realized in computer by technique of computer graphics and the combination of VC++ and OpenGL. The simulation results show that the proposed model can simulate the growth process of the rice leaf very well on the computer easily with less parameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
