Abstract

In this paper we present a method for automatic segmentation of 3D complex scenes from a single range image. A complex scene includes several objects with: irregular shapes, occlusion, the same colour or intensity level and placed in any pose. Unlike most existing methods which proceed with a set of images obtained from different viewpoints, in this work a single view is used and a 3D segmentation process is developed to separate the constituent parts of a complex scene. The method is based on establishing suitable virtual-viewpoints in order to carry out a new range data segmentation technique. For a virtual-viewpoint a strategy [3D range data] - [2D projected range data] - [2D segmentation] - [3D segmented range data], is accomplished. The proposed method has been applied to a set of complex scenes and it can be said that the results guarantee the benefits of the method.
