Plant Twin
Plant Twin

The ultimate goal of this research is the complete virtualization of plants from sensing data, i.e., the generation of a plant digital twin. This research focuses particularly on technical elements related to computer vision, and reproduces not only the shape of the plant from a set of images taken of the plant, but also its branch and leaf structure, time-series changes, etc., including occluded areas. The virtualized plant model enables simulation and mapping to genes, and is a powerful tool for automating cultivation and accelerating breeding. This project is in progress under the following JST grants: 2021/04-2028/03 JST FOREST “PlantTwin: Reconstructing plants for breeding and cultivation” 2017/10-2021/09 JST PRESTO “Three-dimensional plant structure modeling and lifelog generation for growth analysis and prediction in future cultivation”

3D Reconstruction
3D Reconstruction

This research aims to establish “innovative photogrammetry based on a data-driven approach and co-design of imaging systems” for the purpose of faithful 3D digitization of real-world objects using cameras, and to realize a world where anyone can easily create high-quality 3D digital content. In this project, we will develop technologies to obtain not only the rough objects’ shape (macro shape) but also the visible micro shape of the object surface (meso shape), which is essential for faithful digital reproduction and a finer shape that expresses reflectance (micro shape). In addition, this research will establish a technology for easily digitizing real-world objects in three dimensions using simple photographic equipment through the cooperative design of data-driven and imaging systems. This project is in progress under the following JSPS grants: 2023/04-2028/03 JSPS KAKENHI (S) “Photogrammetry through co-design of data-driven 3D estimation and imaging systems”
