Modeling and visualization of leaf venation patterns

Modeling and visualization of leaf venation patterns

2.2 Mathematical description of leaf growth. The development of venation patterns is correlated with the growth of leaf blades. Growth can be characterized by the growth ten- sor field [Hejnowicz and Romberger 1984], which specifies the magnitude of the expansion of infinitesimal surface regions in var-
