Efficient Segmentation for Road Point Sets

Abstract

Resurfacing paved roads is necessary and therefore, efficient road inspection methods are important in civil engineering. Recent advances in mobile 3D mapping technology makes us possible to represent a cityscape by 3D point sets. Estimating deviation of the segmented points from its representative plane is useful for road inspection. In this research, we propose an efficient segmentation framework for a road point set by using the simple geometric models.
