Functional Description

This software aims at semi-automatically reconstructing the 3D structures of plants from laser scans. For this, it encapsulates automatic reconstruction method developed by the Virtual Plants team (Preuksakarn et al., 2010) or by the literature (Vernoust and Lazarus, 2000). Once reconstructed the structure can be graphically edited by adding, deleting, repositioning or reorganizing segments in the structure. The original pointset can be processed with contraction operators to shift the points toward the center of the shape. Some post processing procedures are available to retrieve automatically botanical features such as divergence angle sequences.
