Research on Virtual Cucumber Growth Based on Development Model

Abstract

It is valuable work to build up the virtual plant model for modern agriculture according to the law of plant development. After large numbers of experimental results during the plant development, with the accumulated growth day as parameter, the morphological and physiological models could be established respectively. With the definition of the plant growth unit and its organs using the type seal way, the regulation models could be found which describing the plant growth changes including topological structure and organ morphology, then the virtual plant growth model could be constructed based on the information fusion and reconstruction. The experiments illustrated that the proposed model was feasible and effective in simulating plant growth, which also presented valuable evidences for dynamical management and prediction of outer environmental conditions fitted to plant growth.
