Use QSM in GroIMP.
This tutorial explains the workflow of the GUI tools provided by the QSM plugin, based on some example actions. All this functionalities work not only on imported QSM but on DTD or fastrak xml files.
The combination of GroIMPs rule based graph manipulation and the QSM descriptors can be used to implements code based processing filters to improve a reconstructed tree.
In this tutorial, we will create two simple example methods to improve a QSM model. These examples are designed to be simple and understandable rather than scientifically sound.
In the following tutorial we will take a small QSM file, transform the existing cylinders into modules and add additional organs(Buds, Leaves) in order to simulate simple forgoing growth. This tutorial requires knowledge about the programming language RGG (see: RGG Code structure introduction) as well as basic XL-queries (see: XL queries and operators).
For this tutorial we will use this very small QSM: tiny_tree2.qsm. This dataset was originally measured with the fastrak stylus and is later translated into a QSM
