Proposal of An Example-Based Tree Modeling Approach Based on ShadowDraw Paradigm
Details
In this article, we propose a sketch-based approach to tree modeling based on ShadowDraw paradigm. ShadowDraw was originally proposed as a system for guiding freeform drawing of 2D objects. The ShadowDraw paradigm does not only require the users to have any specific drawing skills, but also allows them to draw tree structures more biologically by using as a guide underlying shadow images of real trees of intended kinds. The proposed system could provide a new way to what is called example-based tree modeling since it relies on a large collection of tree images from the Internet as wisdom of crowds.
