Stochastic Structural Plant Models a platform for morphological diversity Ilya Potapov Tampere University of Technology
Closer Data-Model Interaction • Usually Functional-Structural Plant Models (FSPM) utilize fixed parameters obtained from “average” experiment. • Experimentally defined parameters imply certain conditions that are not universal. • Different objects and experimentations are referred to for the same model. • Simple functions assumed. • Data are not used every time the model runs.
Statistical clone generator • Stochastic Structural Model (SSM) is a statistical “clone” generator… • That is, SSM produces trees with statistically similar structural characteristics, but not exact copies of each other.
Forest applications • Single-species defined forest • Two-species forests
Data = QSM Quantitative Structural tree Model (QSM) Laser scanning 3D point cloud • QSM possesses all geometrical and topological information • Cylinder-based model (or any other geometrical primitive) PasiRaumonen et al., Remote Sens.5(2), 491-520, 2013.
SSM = a structure model with stochasticity • Full description compatibility with QSM (i.e. the same geometrical and topological information). • Stochastic rules of growth to account for variability.
SSM compatible with Data DATA MODEL Goal: Find the maximum correspondence between DATA and MODEL data sets OR: Find maximum overlapping of the distributions
Intraspecific diversity What makes two trees different? How much are they different? Particularly: How much do the (genetic) clones differ?
Bio-diversity: quantitative aspect Ds(cypress_1,cypress_2) = ? Ds(frog, cypress_1) = ? What is the mutual (structural) distanceDs between objects?
Construction of a (structural) distance • Characteristics to measure. • Algorithm to quantitatively compare the measured characteristics from two sources. • Ds(DATA,MODEL) = 0 Full correspondence between DATA and MODEL.
Open questions • Faster/simpler SSM candidates to facilitate the calibration of the “Bayes Forest” algorithm. • Quantitative relation between real (genetic) clones and SSM-generated “clones”.
