Surface approximation to point cloud data using volume modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a collection of unorganised points in space, we present a new method of constructing a surface which approximates this point cloud. The surface is defined implicitly as the isosurface of a trivariate volume model. The volume model is piecewise linear and obtained as a least squares fit to data derived from the point cloud. The original point cloud input is assigned a zero value. Additional points are derived for the interior and exterior and assigned positive and negative values respectively.

Approximation of Volume and Branch Size Distribution of Trees from Laser Scanner Data
This paper presents an approach for automatically approximating the above-ground volume and branch size distribution of trees from dense terrestrial laser scanner produced point clouds. The approach is based on the assumption that the point cloud is a sample of a surface in 3D space and the surface is locally like a cylinder. The point cloud is covered with small neighborhoods which conform to ...
متن کاملTarget detection Bridge Modelling using Point Cloud Segmentation Obtained from Photogrameric UAV
In recent years, great efforts have been made to generate 3D models of urban structures in photogrammetry and remote sensing. 3D reconstruction of the bridge, as one of the most important urban structures in transportation systems, has been neglected because of its geometric and structural complexity. Due to the UAV technology development in spatial data acquisition, in this study, the point cl...

The Digital terrain model is an important geospatial product used as the basis of many practical projects related to geospatial information. Nowadays, a dense point cloud can be generated using the LiDAR data. Actually, the acquired point cloud of the LiDAR, presents a digital surface model that contains ground and non-ground objects. The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach of ex...
متن کاملComprehensive Analysis of Dense Point Cloud Filtering Algorithm for Eliminating Non-Ground Features
Point cloud and LiDAR Filtering is removing non-ground features from digital surface model (DSM) and reaching the bare earth and DTM extraction. Various methods have been proposed by different researchers to distinguish between ground and non- ground in points cloud and LiDAR data. Most fully automated methods have a common disadvantage, and they are only effective for a particular type of surf...
متن کاملApproximation of a Variable Density Cloud of Points by Shrinking a Discrete Membrane
This paper describes a method to obtain a closed surface that approximates a general 3D data point set with non-uniform density. Aside from the positions of the initial data points, no other information is used. Particularly, neither the topological relations between the points nor the normal to the surface at the data points are needed. The reconstructed surface does not exactly interpolate th...
