SURFACE-BASED SEGMENTATION OF 3D POINT CLOUD DATA IN THE VECTOR FIELD REPRESENTATION

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an approach for 3D segmentation of point cloud data based on the vector field representation. A volumetric surface representation named the vector field is first computed for the input point cloud. The data description in a voxel of the vector field is then classified into eight surface types by computing the sign of curvatures for the closest point of the voxel on the surface. A region-growing sheme based on bivariate fuctions fitting is finally applied to the closest points of these voxels for refining the segmented regions. This surface-based approach is entirely designed in the vector field surface representation and the advantages of using the vector field are discussed. Experiments demonstrate the peformance of the method.
