Abstract

Fractal modeling methods revolutionized the approach to modeling objects in computer graphics. They made it possible to create natural objects, where mathematical description using traditional Euclidean Geometry is difficult or even impossible. Plants, especially trees, are a perfect example of this type of objects. However, fractals, due to their properties, create application problems, related to the generation process. One of the new attempts to solve these problems is modeling 3D objects from single-view images. Signed distance functions (SDF), when combined with ray marching, represent a traditional yet underutilized technique that demonstrates significant potential for fractal modeling. The aim of the article is to analyze the possibility of using this method to increase the efficiency of tree modeling, focusing on the 3D reconstruction. We have proposed a novel method for reconstructing the 3D geometry of botanical trees from single-view photographs, which is based on the SDF.
