Abstract

Recreate the appearance of a tree at any given age in the past. [Solution] The method for generating tree data includes the steps of generating tree ring data showing the shape of the tree rings at each position in the growth direction by measuring the shape of the tree rings at each cut point when the tree is cut at multiple points in the growth direction, and generating tree data showing the three-dimensional shape of the tree at each age based on the tree ring data.
