Due to the lack of physiological and ecological characteristics while modeling plant morphology, the law of plant development cannot be expressed in the model. To solve this problem, a new plant morphology modeling method was proposed based on growth kinetics. Taking the plant-reed as an example, firstly, the growth kinetics of plant was studied, and the morphological model of plant was constructed based on the effective accumulated temperature and growth rate. Then the topological change of plant canopy structure was described using Open L-systems (Open-L) method. Finally, the algorithm of constructing virtual plant development model was presented by coupling with the geometric model and displaying model of plant topology and organs. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and feasible in visualizing the morphogenesis of plant and reflecting its growth mechanism, which also provides valuable evidences for dynamical control and prediction of plant development.

To overcome the influence from both the light change and blurring in actual shooting for the three-dimensional reconstruction based on the stereo vision technique, the new illumination-robust combined invariant moments were put forward. Meanwhile, for the purpose of improving the performance of the image feature matching which solely depended on similarity, the dual constraints of the slope and the distance were involved into the similarity measurement, and then the matching process was carried out with their combined actions. Finally the three-dimensional reconstruction of the whole belly contour was built automatically. The parameters of the belly shape obtained by the proposed method can achieve the same accuracy as the 3D scanner and the measurement error with the actual value was less than 0.5cm. The experimental results show that the hardware of this system is simple, low cost as well as fast and reliable for information collection. The system is suitable for apparel design.
