Real-time ground filtering algorithm of cloud points acquired using Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS)

Overview

Real-time ground filtering algorithm of cloud points acquired using Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS)

This repository contains tools to simulate the ground filtering process of a registered point cloud. The repository contain two filtering methods. The first method uses normal-vector, and fit to plane. The second method utilizes voxel adjacency, and fit to plane. This repository contains the code to reproduce the results presented in the paper following paper:

abstract = {3D modeling based on point clouds requires ground-filtering algorithms that separate ground from non-ground objects. This study presents two ground filtering algorithms. The first one is based on normal vectors. It has two variants depending on the procedure to compute the k-nearest neighbors. The second algorithm is based on transforming the cloud points into a voxel structure. To evaluate them, the two algorithms are compared according to their execution time, effectiveness and efficiency. Results show that the ground filtering algorithm based on the voxel structure is faster in terms of execution time, effectiveness, and efficiency than the normal vector ground filtering.}

Introduction

The software allows simulating the ground filtering process in point clouds using machine learning techniques. In particular, this repository contains the algorithms and functions to identify points corresponding to the ground from a registered point cloud.

Requirements

This module requires the following datasets Ajaccio_2.ply, Ajaccio_57.ply y dijon_9.ply, which may be downloaded from the following link. In addition, scans with groundtruth are available in link.

The datasets may be included in the folder dataset.

  • Recommended modules

It is recommended to install the toolbox of Computer Vision (TCV). TCV contains the point cloud processing with plenty of functions and algorithms for the processing of point clouds.

Installation

To run the code, use the function MainNormal.m that computes principal component analysis for each point and its corresponding K-nearest neighbors, then a Naive Bayes classifier improves the ground filtering. In the last stage, the points are adjusted to a plane, discarding the farthest points. The second algorithm runs with the function MainVoxel.m that. The algorithm joints the points into voxels to reduce the computation time of the nearest neighbor. The algorithm discards the distant voxels with height thresholding, and then the remaining points are adjusted to a plane.

Configuration

The tools are developed in Matlab R2019b.
