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 ...

Tree-D Fusion uses AI to create 3D models of urban trees, predicting growth under climate scenarios. These models aid city planning by anticipating challenges like branch interference and improving ...

So our AI models are not simulating nature. They are simulating tree developmental algorithms,” Benes said. He aspires to reconstruct 3D geometry data from real trees inside a computer. “You take your ...

Now everyone—from urban planners and environmental scientists to homeowners—can access a new algorithm for tree reconstruction developed at Purdue University to see how the trees will shade an ...

And for each tree, there is a 3D model, which can quickly flag problems that humans might otherwise miss. "Maybe there’s some die-back in the crown, you can see exactly where that’s located.
