Abstract

Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) is a standard algorithm to recognize planes in point clouds. It does not require additional context information. However, it might be applied in situations where results can be improved based on domain knowledge. Such a situation is 3D building reconstruction from airborne laser scanning data. The normals of many roof facets are orthogonal to footprint vectors. This specific property helps to estimate roof planes more precisely. The paper describes the adapted RANSAC algorithm. It can be also used in other applications in which planes are aligned to supporting vectors.
