Pruning (morphology) The pruning algorithm is a technique used in digital image processing based on mathematical morphology. [1] It is used as a complement to the skeleton and thinning algorithms to remove unwanted parasitic components (spurs). In this case 'parasitic' components refer to branches of a line which are not key to the overall ...
The simulated growth of plants is a significant task in of systems biology and mathematical biology, which seeks to reproduce plant morphology with computer software. Electronic trees (e-trees) usually use L-systems to simulate growth. L-systems are very important in the field of complexity science and A-life .
The tomato ( / təmeɪtoʊ / or / təmɑːtoʊ /) is the edible berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum, [1] [2] commonly known as the tomato plant. The species originated in western South America, Mexico, and Central America. [2] [3] The Nahuatl word tomatl gave rise to the Spanish word tomate, from which the English word tomato derives.
Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can refer to both man-made or natural dispersal of seeds. Propagation typically occurs as a step in the overall cycle of plant growth. For seeds, it happens after ripening and dispersal; for ...
Visual Basic (VB) before .NET, sometimes referred to as Classic Visual Basic, is a third-generation programming language, based on BASIC, and an integrated development environment (IDE), from Microsoft for Windows known for supporting rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, event-driven programming and both consumption and development of components ...
Branch and bound. Branch and bound ( BB, B&B, or BnB) is a method for solving optimization problems by breaking them down into smaller sub-problems and using a bounding function to eliminate sub-problems that cannot contain the optimal solution. It is an algorithm design paradigm for discrete and combinatorial optimization problems, as well as ...
The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants. The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants is a book by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and Aristid Lindenmayer. It is notable as it is the first comprehensive volume on the computer simulation of certain patterns in nature found in plant development ( L-systems ). The book is no longer in print but is available free online.
A grafted tree showing two differently coloured blossoms. Grafting or graftage [1] is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion ( / ˈsaɪən /) while the lower part is called the rootstock.
