Abstract

This paper presents a method for recognising spherical shapes in 3D point cloud XYZ coordinate data obtained by scanning an indoor environment using a LIDAR scanner. Firstly, bilateral smoothing is performed to smooth the surfaces consisting of points. Then, the surface curvature and surface roughness of each point in the scan are extracted by analysing the point cloud data. Finally, a three layer multilayer perceptron neural network trained by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to automatically distinguish points belonging to spheres from all the other points making use of extracted features. A novel feedback technique is applied in which the neural network is used several times on the recognised data. This method can be applied to automate 3D scan alignment.
