Visualization of Tomato Growth Based on Dry Matter Flow

Figure 16

The time statistics in a growth cycle of a tomato plant in our TomatoVis system. The longest growth cycle for tomato is nearly 304 days in the greenhouse. In most cases, the growth cycle for tomatoes is 4–6 months. In any case, the growing and rendering time for one plant in our system is less than 0.007 seconds-per-frame, which means the growth process can be displayed in real time.
