Abstract
Automated analysis and interpretation of 3D urban environments from laser-scanned point clouds has emerged as a critical research area with broad applications in urban planning, land administration, autonomous driving, and navigation. Despite remarkable progress in this field, researchers face two key challenges: (i) the comparatively slower advancement of methodologies for 3D point cloud analysis compared to 2D image-based techniques, and (ii) the difficulty of scaling these methods to large and complex real-world urban environments. This thesis addresses both aspects by exploring methodological innovations in 3D point cloud processing and investigating their applicability to large-scale urban settings, with an overall aim of supporting more robust and reliable interpretation of 3D urban scenes....
