A novel method for locating the local terrestrial laser scans in a global aerial point cloud

Authors

Abstract:

In addition to the heterogeneity of aerial and terrestrial views, the small scale terrestrial point clouds are hardly comparable with large scale and overhead aerial point clouds. A hierarchical method is proposed for automatic locating of terrestrial scans in aerial point cloud. The proposed method begins with detecting the candidate positions for the deployment of the terrestrial laser scanner in the aerial point cloud. After that, by simulating the performance of the laser scanner, the visible portion of the aerial point cloud is detected and it is extracted as the candidate deployment aerial point cloud.  As a result, the problem of scan locating is converted to a corresponding one between several local terrestrial point clouds and several local aerial point clouds. In order to increase the comparability of these two datasets in the corresponding process, the main geometric structures of each point cloud are extracted using four predesigned geometric feature indexes, and they are organized in the form of four feature-maps of each point cloud. The feature-maps generated for each point cloud are described by the rotation invariant Fourier-HOG descriptor. Afterward, the corresponding problem is structured in the form of a k-nn classification among the classes established for these descriptors. Finally, the location of each terrestrial scan is obtained based on the classification results. The evaluation results of the proposed method on an urban dataset, showed an average accuracy of about 5 meters for locating the terrestrial scans in aerial point cloud. The obtained accuracies seem to be sufficient to enter the process of registering the terrestrial scans to the aerial point cloud.

A novel local search method for microaggregation

In this paper, we propose an effective microaggregation algorithm to produce a more useful protected data for publishing. Microaggregation is mapped to a clustering problem with known minimum and maximum group size constraints. In this scheme, the goal is to cluster n records into groups of at least k and at most 2k_1 records, such that the sum of the within-group squ...

A Novel Method for Content Base Image Retrieval Using Combination of Local and Global Features

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...

A Study of Projections for Key Point Based Registration of Panoramic Terrestrial 3D Laser Scans∗

This paper surveys state of the art image features and descriptors for the task of 3D scan registration based on panoramic reflectance images. As modern terrestrial laser scanners digitize their environment in a spherical way, the sphere has to be projected to a two-dimensional image. To this end, we evaluate the equirectangular, the cylindrical, the Mercator, the rectilinear, the Pannini, the ...
