Description
Summary:ABSTRACTBuilding facade structures serve as important data support for three-dimensional (3D) building modelling. A building facade structure extraction method based on 3D Laser Point Cloud Data (LPCD) by considering semantic information is proposed. The proposed method mainly involves three steps. First, an improved 3D LPCD semantic segmentation method is introduced to extract and label point clouds as the building structure and walls. Second, structure line segments are recognized from the initial building facade structure based on the Regulated Block RANSAC (RB-RANSAC) algorithm. Third, geometric information such as distance, vector and positional relationship between structure line segments is considered to optimize the initial building facade structure. The proposed method can effectively extract and fit segment structures by considering the semantic and geometric information, obtaining significantly accurate and concise building facade structures. Case studies on 3D LPCD of local buildings and open-source datasets (Semantic3D) prove the extraction accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
