title = "hFRACTAL: A cloud-assisted simulator of virtual plants for digital agriculture",
abstract = "Virtual Reality (VR) techniques advances the development of research on virtual plants which is regarded as one of the most important parts of Digital Agriculture. At present, there exists a gap that the existing simulation techniques of virtual plants cannot achieve the purpose of real-time drawing by virtue of cloud computing according to captured picture of plants. To fill the this research gap, this paper presents a real-time simulator prototype, termed hFractal, of virtual plants in Digital Agriculture. The proposed prototype contains: (1) fast generation algorithm of topological structure of plants; (2) flexible simulation of virtual plants based on Fractals as well as L-systems. In summary, hFractal provides a convenient and flexible modeling and simulation environment that is particularly useful for those without an intensive programming background.",
