Abstract
The inevitable trend of agricultural development in China is to realize real-time monitoring, visualization and management of intelligent agriculture greenhouse. This paper presents a virtual reality system that is developed for an intelligent agricultural greenhouse using Web3D. Both virtual reality and image matching technology are integrated to construct such a VR system. The basic roaming interactive function of the system is realized using 3DS MAX modelling technology and virtual reality platform (VRP). An improved SIFT algorithm is proposed to complete panoramic image mosaic, which is on the basis of SIFT feature matching algorithm combined with Harris algorithm. Finally, the 3D visualization of agricultural greenhouse, the data management and real-time interactive control are realized and tested.
