  1. Computer Graphics and Ecological Informatics Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology Study courses:Applied Computer Science (B.Sc. and) M.Sc. Winfried Kurth Katarína Streit

  2. Workgroups at the Department Ecoinformatics Department Ecoinformatics, Biometrics and Forest Growth permanent staff: Winfried Kurth Joachim Saborowski Jürgen Nagel Reinhold Meyer Workgroup 1: Computer graphics and ecological informatics Workgroup 2: Statistical models, sampling, spatial statistics and regionalization Workgroup 3: Spatial information systems in forest ecology Workgroup 4: local computing centre for the Forestry Faculty, consulting in statistics and computation Workgroup 5: e-learning in forest sciences and ecology Workgroup 6: Forest growth modelling (with NWFVA)

  3. Research activities(and possible topics for projects and M.Sc. theses...) Computer graphics and ecological informatics (= computer science, applied to ecology)

  4. Functional-structural models of organisms and adequate ways to formalize them formalism RGG language XL software GroIMP model j k, l m ==>j m,l k; wild type dwarf mutant part of a regulatory network (biosynthesis of gibberellic acid)

  5. poplar model, taking the effect of phytohormones into account (Buck-Sorlin et al. 2008) generated with the free software GroIMP, www.grogra.de (Kniemeyer et al. 2008)

  6. Functional-structural plant models - Examples wheat: Evers et al. 2010 tomato: Buck-Sorlin et al., unpubl. rice: Xu et al. 2011 cut-rose: Buck-Sorlin et al. 2011

  7. at a higher scale level: simulations of forest stands VRML- Virtual Reality Output CCL - Crown Competition light Ecological site classification

  8. Improved rendering of 3-d scenes and simulation of radiation raytracing: basic principle

  9. Capturing 3-d data Currently offered topic for project work and/or thesis Topic: Further development of an interface for digitizing objects (particularly plants) with the electro-magnetic tracking system FASTRAK. Development of an interface to the software GroIMP. FASTRAK gives output which allows to describe chosen points in space with 6 variables (position, orientation). The challenge is to link the resulting point cloud with metainformation about the structure of the plant during the process of measurement. Furthermore, locations of leaves, flowers and fruits shall be captured and marked. These data will serve as a basis for simulation models of plant growth and architecture in agronomy and forestry. Tools which will be used: Blender, Python, Java, GroIMP.
