Enhancing Simple Geometrical Holes in Fused 3D Building Model Using the Laplacian Method
摘要
Data fusion has been employed to combine multiple point cloud datasets to generate more comprehensive 3D building models. However, discrepancies among datasets can result in unresolved holes, reducing model accuracy. This study aims to enhance data fusion techniques using the advanced Laplacian method, known for its multi-view 3D hole extraction capability, to address simple holes with an additional dataset. The fused 3D building model is derived from three-point cloud datasets, and the automated procedure identifies and restores holes through two main phases: 3D hole extraction and Laplacian data fusion. Python scripting facilitates the application of the Laplacian technique. Experiments on a small part of the 3D model showed that simple holes were covered more accurately by substitute points, with CloudCompare evaluations indicating a significant reduction in mean distance to the target: from 0.45 m to 0.29 m for ALS points and from 0.53 m to 0.31 m for image-based points. Future research will address complex holes, incorporating additional constraints and line extraction from image data to accurately reshape these intricate gaps.
