Abstract

To address the lacking of effectively utilization of nonlocal spatial context information on complex scene when classifying point cloud, an improved contextual classification method is proposed for point cloud with linear distribution and uneven density. Firstly, the local point cloud features and interaction spatial context were estimated based on the curvature based adaptive neighborhoods. Then, the supervoxel based distribution spatial context was extracted from point cloud. Finally, the point cloud classification was achieved automatically via higher-order conditional random field, which overcomes the limitation of local feature based point cloud classification. The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to improve the accuracy of point cloud classification effectively.

Key words： point cloud; classification; spatial context; adaptive neighborhood; CRF
