Extraction of Spatial Objects from Laser-scanning Data Using a Clustering Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores a novel approach to the extraction of spatial objects from the laser-scanning data using an unsupervised clustering technique. The technique, namely self-organizing maps (SOM), creates a set of neurons following a training process based on the input point clouds with attributes of xyz coordinates and the return intensity of laser-scanning data. The set of neurons constitutes a two dimensional planar map, with which each neuron has best match points from an input point cloud with similar properties. Because of its high capacity in data clustering, outlier detection and visualization, SOM provides a powerful technique for the extraction of spatial objects from laser-scanning data. The approach is validated by a case study applied to a point cloud captured using a terrestrial laser-scanning device.

Assigning a set of objects to groups such that objects in one group or cluster are more similar to each other than the other clusters’ objects is the main task of clustering analysis. SSPCO optimization algorithm is anew optimization algorithm that is inspired by the behavior of a type of bird called see-see partridge. One of the things that smart algorithms are applied to solve is the problem ...
متن کاملAirborne Laser Scanning: Clustering in Raw Data
We implemented a strategy for terrain, vegetation and building detection, based on laser range data only. The result was obtained by working on raw data, so we were able to take advantage of the full resolution potential of laser scanning. The detection of objects was performed in two stages: first, elevated objects and ground are separated, and then the objects are classified as vegetation or ...
