matlab点云中值滤波,一种航空影像密集匹配点云的迭代中值滤波算法

Abstract:The generated point cloud through dense matching based on aerial-image contains massive redundant points and noise information, which influences the quality of surface model (DSM) and the effect of digital orthophoto (DOM) generation. To solve this problem, an iterative median-value filter algorithm for aerial-image dense matching point cloud is proposed. The spatial cylinder is defined by the idea of neighborhood normal vector summation, and it is used as the constraint criterion of point cloud elimination to judge whether the median point is needed in the spatial cylinder. The presented algorithm removes a small number of outliers with distance statistical analysis method until the number of adjacent two output points is less than the set threshold. Comparative experiment using two classes of point cloud data with overlapping regions shows that the proposed method can effectively eliminate the noise of the photometric measurement dense matching point cloud, smooth the redundant point cloud with thickness, and preserve complete edge features.
