Abstract

Summary Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) were introduced by Aristid Linden-mayer to generate geometrical structures of plants, i.e. shoot, leaf or root. During the last decade of L-systems prototypes, the plant growth has been animated by composing images from all iterations. The problem is that development of a plant model is nonsmooth and discontinuous. In this paper, we solve this problem by adding some mathematical time functions of logistic growth to each component and combine them with an L-system prototype. The stochastic and bracketed L-systems are applied to generate the stochastic structure and branching structure, respectively. Our L-system prototype can generate both plant shoot and root parts. The results of simulation and visualization are presented. These show that the simulation and visualization of the development of the plant growth modeled by using the new proposed method is smoother and more natural.
