3D modeling of point clouds
Abstract
We present our research on modeling simple shapes in a point cloud using both Expectation Maximization (EM) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The shapes to be modeled are Planes, Cylinders and Cones. Although most point clouds consist of more complex shapes, they may also contain these three simple shapes. In the case of man-made structures, a large percentage of a point cloud could be made up of simple shapes. Creating a model of shapes can lead to a huge reduction in data.
