Study on Method of Modeling and Visualization of Soybean

By analyzing structural features of soybean's stems, leaves and bean-pods, this paper brings up visualization modeling using graphics processing. This method could simulate soybean growth dynamically, and describe every status of some organs efficiently and quantitatively. It lays a foundation for soybean study in virtual plant field, to possess important significance for guidance in digital design of high-yield plant type of soybean. Key word: visualization, quantitative, structural modeling, bean-pods
