Differential evolution for parameterized procedural woody plant models reconstruction

Reconstruction of a parameterized procedural model from images is done by differential evolution algorithm which evolves this model by fitting a set of its rendered images to a set of given reference images. The comparison is done on pixel level of the images through the integration of distances to the nearest similar pixels. The obtained results show that the presented approach is viable for modeling of woody plants for computer animation by evolution of the numerically coded procedural model.
