 ===== Idea =====
-The idea is to use a point cloud of a measured tree and "move it over" the simulate tree to see how similar the tree and the measurements are. In the following the point cloud ware artificially created and fits the tree therefore very well.

+The example model can be found in the [[https://gallery.grogra.de/project_gallery/6728954ce2f11365175b52ba|GroIMP gallery]]
+===== Steps =====
+  - Import the point cloud as a graph into the growth model. (see [[tutorials:pointcloud-io|here]])
+  - Grow the model to the right size (e.g. the age of the measured plant)
+  - Build the mathematical volume of the simulated plant
+  - Querying the points of the point cloud to estimate the coverage of the model
 ===== Generating a volume =====
-A volumes in GroIMP can be handled using most operators known from set theory, therefore it is also possible to create a union out two volumes by using the logical or operator ''|''. This can be used to create one volume out of all elements from the simulation with a simple query:

 ===== Counting the points =====
-A volume in GroIMP comes with contains function, that checks if a point is included in the volume.
