ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION OF A PLANT MODELING SOFTWARE (AMAP) TO STIMULATE LANDSCAPE CHANGES WITH 3D REALISTIC IMAGES FOR PLANNING

Objetivo

Many local authorities of the European Union, from the regional to the municipal level, plan and manage the development of their territory with dedicated tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Undoubtedly, these systems improve spatial analysis and mapping operations but are blind when it comes to displaying the world as we survey it, since they are essentially structured around 2D cartographic models. Due to this limitation, there is today no information system dedicated to landscape visualisation and change simulation over large areas.

AMAP, the plant modelling software of CIRAD's modelling unit, was originally developed as high-end software for botany, agronomy and forestry applications. Its unique technology, based on an inference engine, enables the computing of hyper-realistic models of plant species and the stimulation of their growth on the basis of botanical observations and stochastic processes. Over the last 3 to 4 years, new modules have been added to the core software to create and display limited landscape scenes. Today, it runs in various countries, but mostly out of the European Union.

Through professional experience and a survey among some 600 European planning agencies it has been shown that, in the current context of rising environmental awareness, there is a growing need for modelling tools capable of generating 3D realistic images, both easier to understand and more convincing than the usual maps and plans produced with GIS, especially for landscape related applications.

Imago Metropolis was a technology validation project dealing with the development of AMAP plant modelling software used by landscape architects and agronomists and has attempted to adapt AMAP to the requirements of planning organizations such as the agencies, local governments and consulting firms which currently use Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The aim was to introduce these organizations to using 3D images in addition to maps for the improvement of planning and communication processes.

Three demonstration projects were carried out representing a wide range of applications:

- the simulation of a project for a new high tension power line in the south of Belgium
- master planning in Ile-de-France
- landscape archaeology in Tuscany.

A reference guide, user manual, tutorials, demonstration CD-ROM, training seminar, WWW pages, attendance at trade shows and conferences, papers in professional journals, and the setting up of a distribution network were the main avenues used to promote and sustain the innovation brought about by the project.
