Correction to: Development of a design platform for the high-range sprayer used for street trees based on a VR visualization

High-range sprayers (HRSs) are widely used in tree pest control. However, the design of the HRS is complex and time-consuming. This paper proposed a case study of developing a design platform for the HRS based on a virtual reality (VR) visualization. Firstly, the function of the HRS design platform was introduced. And then, an architecture of the HRS and the compositions of the HRS design platform, including calculation, optimization, assembly, and verification, were illustrated. Meanwhile, development methods and related theories of building the HRS design platform were presented in detail. The VR-based HRS design platform proposed in this paper has a significant advantage in reducing the design period and costs, which can also lower the experimental threshold and improve the training of new designers.
