Using an input image, the Tree-D Fusion creates a 3D tree model that can be used to simulate various stages of development. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Trees compete for space as they grow. A tree with ...

Robotic construction has taken another step forward with the Future Tree, a recently completed timber canopy built with robots in a project by Gramazio Kohler Research and ETH Zurich. Completed in ...

Trees play an essential role in regulating ecosystems, maintaining biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. Precise 3D models allow scientists to calculate fundamental parameters such as diameter ...

A research team from Purdue University’s Department of Computer Science and Institute for Digital Forestry, with collaborator Sören Pirk at Kiel University in Germany, has discovered that artificial ...

A research team has discovered that artificial intelligence can simulate tree growth and shape. The DNA molecule encodes both tree shape and environmental response in one tiny, subcellular package. In ...

Highly detailed 3D scans of dense tropical rain forest plots are enabling precise estimates of tree structure, volume and stored carbon, as part of a first-of-its-kind pilot initiative, led by ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...
