Point cloud segmentation using hierarchical tree for architectural models
Recent developments in the 3D scanning technologies have made the generation
of highly accurate 3D point clouds relatively easy but the segmentation of
these point clouds remains a challenging area. A number of techniques have set
precedent of either planar or primitive based segmentation in literature. In
this work, we present a novel and an effective primitive based point cloud
segmentation algorithm. The primary focus, i.e. the main technical contribution
of our method is a hierarchical tree which iteratively divides the point cloud
into segments. This tree uses an exclusive energy function and a 3D
convolutional neural network, HollowNets to classify the segments. We test the
efficacy of our proposed approach using both real and synthetic data obtaining
an accuracy greater than 90% for domes and minarets.Comment: 9 pages. 10 figures. Submitted in EuroGraphics 201
