AMAPstudio is a software suite for plants architecture modelling. It contains applications and models to rebuild, explore, analyse and study the growth of plants from an architectural point of view.
It is targeted to scientists and students in the agronomic and botany fields.
These applications and models may work at the individual plant level like in Xplo or at the scene level like in Simeo.
These software are built collaboratively by scientists and computer engineers. Some parts are distributed with a free license. The project is opened to any interested scientist: to get details about how to join the project, see the Download and Charter sections.
Three Maritime pine stands at age 7, 19 and 60, realistic in a botanic point of view. The simulated stands are representative of real observed plots: tree positions, diameter distributions, total height, crown base height, crown diameter, leaf surface. These mockups have been simulated with AmapSim (J.F. Barczi, Cirad AMAP) by Yves Caraglio, Marion Jourdan and and Cécile Madelaine-Antin (Cirad AMAP) in the Stem-Leaf project (CNES Tosca). They have then been sent to an aerial Lidar simulation in the DART simulator (Cesbio Toulouse) by Eloi Grau (CNES Tetis) and Cécile Madelaine-Antin.
