Plane surface detection and reconstruction using segment-based tensor voting

摘要

A Segment-based Tensor Voting (SBTV) algorithm is presented for planar surface detection and reconstruction of man-made objects. Our work is inspired by piecewise planar stereo reconstruction. During the vital procedure to detect and label the planar surface, the two main contributions are: first, tensor voting is used for obtaining the geometry attribute of the 3D points cloud. The candidate planar patches are generated through scene image segment of low variation of color and intensity. Second, we over segment the scene image into the segment and the candidate 3D planar patch is generated. The SBTV algorithm is used on 3D points cloud sets to identify the co-plane on the candidate patch. After detecting every planar patch, the geometry architecture of object is obtained. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach on either outdoor or indoor datasets. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
