An image-based method for the pairwise registration of mobile laser scanning point clouds

In this thesis, an image-based method is proposed for solving the relative translation errors of 3D point clouds collected by Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) techniques. The process of matching 3D point clouds is known as registration. Due to environment-depending limitations of the positioning component of MLS systems, when recording a certain...

Image-based method for the pairwise registration of mobile laser scanning point clouds

In this paper, a method is proposed for solving relative translations of 3D point clouds collected by Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) techniques. The proposed approach uses the attributes of the 3D points to generate and match 2D-projections, by employing a simple correlation technique instead of matching in 3D. As a result, the developed method...
