“…A range of novel tools are currently available to make the stakeholder-model interaction more efficient. Examples are three-dimensional visualization of simulated land-use changes in landscapes (Griffon et al, 2010), tools to scan interactively model outcomes (Verweij et al, 2006), interfacing of participants and the computer model through roleplaying games in a face-to-face setting (Valkering et al, 2008) or as a multi-player virtual reality game (Wien et al, 2003), or integrating the model in a webbased virtual learning environment, which can be accessed from home (cf. Milrad et al, 2005).…”

“…Terrain texture mapping as well as sky and shadows are post processed, using classical computer graphics techniques. Another tool aiming at real-time landscape visualization also uses the same export files (SLE, [28]). SLE is able to manage various vegetation layers like trees, shrubs, small plants, rocks, and other debris to complete the illusion of natural complexity.…”

International audienceThe objective of this paper is to study forest growth simulation based on functional-structural modelling and its potentials for forestry applications. The GreenLab model is used for this purpose owing to its computational performances, its calibration capacity on real plants and its extension to the stand level, by taking into account the competition between neighbouring plants and the interactions with the environment. We first propose a software design: 1) to manage the composition of forest scenes, 2) to simulate their growth based on parallel computing of individual trees with the GreenLab model, 3) to get the realistic and real-time 3D rendering of the simulation results. We then detail a test case to illustrate the potentialities of this new tool. Mono-specific stands of poplars and pines are simulated. We analyze the computation performances and illustrate the simulation results with 3D outputs. A very classical application in forest management, stand thinning, is also tested. Our tool provides new insights thanks to the detailed architectures of trees resulting from the functional-structural model

Virtual reality for cultural landscape visualization

International audienceAlthough land managers and policy-makers generally have a good experience of what result can be expected from their decisions, they are often faced with difficulty when trying to communicate the visual impact of a management option to stakeholders, particularly when the landscape exhibits a high cultural value. Three-dimensional visualization of the landscape is often used for communicating with the stakeholders. A challenge in participatory methods for integrated assessment and policy planning is to view future changes in land use, according to scenarios. A 3-D landscape visualization component, SLE ("Seamless Landscape Explorer"), has been developed, which is launched after a scenario simulation to allow for exploration of landscape changes. Pressures causing such changes are translated into changes in the spatial configuration of the landscape. The different types of land-use are visualized thanks to a library of detailed textures, and vegetation can be added. This has been applied to a study of four scenarios in the French Mediterranean region, which were set up as part of a participatory process for discussing the planning of the regional peri-urban and agricultural policy, in an area dominated by the typical culturally sensitive Mediterranean matorral, ("garrigue" shrubland) surrounding the Pic Saint-Loup mountain. Examples of visualization are shown and discussed here
