Researchers have developed GrowFields, a novel compositional dynamic neural field representation designed to model the complex growth patterns of plants. This method decomposes plants into individual organs, aligning each into its own coordinate frame to isolate intrinsic growth from global motion. By learning a shared continuous neural deformation field conditioned on organ-specific latent codes, GrowFields can naturally accommodate asynchronous organ development and changing topology. Evaluations on four plant species demonstrated improved spatial precision, temporal coherence, and morphological fidelity compared to existing representations. AI
IMPACT This new neural field representation could advance agricultural science by enabling more accurate tracking and modeling of plant development.
