Automatic Segmentation of Lidar Data

Abdelmounaim Bellakaout*, Cherkaoui Omari Mohammed, Ettarid Mohamed, Touzani Abderrahmane

Topographical technology by Airborne LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) generates a precise points cloud with a density of several points per square meter, LIDAR data processing is a crucial step to be used. Extraction of 3D information in automatic way and especially in urban areas from LIDAR data is one of the most difficult problems in computer vision; it is also a necessary step for implementation of several applications that require a high level interpretation of LASER data. Therefore, there is recently an increased interest in this research field and a vast literature. The problematic discussed in this article lies in the differentiation between the sets of points that represent a specified layer of information (construction, vegetation, roads, lines, etc.). This step is called segmentation. The aim of this study is to provide a set of automatic segmentation techniques tailored to different types of 3D data and proposes a methodology to classify LIDAR data with a maximum degree of automaticity using only point cloud data.
