Moving window segmentation framework for point clouds

As lidar point clouds become larger streamed processing becomes more attractive. This paper presents a framework for the streamed segmentation of point clouds with the intention of segmenting unstructured point clouds in real-time. The framework is composed of two main components. The first component segments points within a window shifting over...

Lookup Table Hough Transform for Real Time Range Image Segmentation and Featureless Co-Registration

The paper addresses range image segmentation, particularly of data recorded by range cameras, such as the Microsoft Kinect and the Mesa Swissranger SR4000. These devices record range images at video frame rates and allow for acqui-sition of 3-dimensional measurement sequences that can be used for 3D reconstruction of indoor environments from...
