Abstract

This research is a support for 3D simulation agricultural robotics. Its aim is to design a three-dimensional model for Capsicum annuum L. (CAL) using fractal geometry theory, to be applied in agricultural robot simulators. Morphological characteristics of the plant were analyzed and fractal analysis was performed by the Box-Counting method (performing a linear Least-Squares Fitting) It was demonstrated the presence of a linear relationship that allowed classifying the plant as a fractal CAL. Based on that information, the model describing the growth of the plant was designed by an L-system and it was built from the algorithm model that describes, in natural language, the CAL Lsystem. Lparser tool was used, allowing interpreting the structure of the L-system plant model, simulating its growth in different stages and as a final result it is viewed through a Web 3D viewer.
