Abstract

In this paper, we propose an approach for 3D segmentation of point cloud data based on the vector field representation. A volumetric surface representation named the vector field is first computed for the input point cloud. The data description in a voxel of the vector field is then classified into eight surface types by computing the sign of curvatures for the closest point of the voxel on the surface. A region-growing sheme based on bivariate fuctions fitting is finally applied to the closest points of these voxels for refining the segmented regions. This surface-based approach is entirely designed in the vector field surface representation and the advantages of using the vector field are discussed. Experiments demonstrate the peformance of the method.
