Abstract(in English) To generate virtual scenes through which remotely located people communicate with each other, it is very important to create realistic virtual scenes with which the people can interact. This paper proposes a new automatic method for modeling botanical trees as an example of objects in natural scenes, based on real images. The silhouette of the tree in multiple images are extracted from the background so that 3D volume data for the multiple images are constructed. The volume data are used to generate branches of the tree according to the rules based on a growth model of trees. After the generation of the branches, leaf models with color texture are attached to the branches. Some rendering results demostrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
