Abstract

Range image segmentation has manyapplications in computer vision areas such as computergraphics and robotic vision. A generic methodologyfor 3D point set analysis in which planar structuresplay an important role is defined. It consistsmainly of a specific K-means algorithm whichis able to process different shapes in cluster. At thesame time, within geometric and topologic considerations,a set of application-driven heuristics is designed.This helps to find out the right number ofstructures in point sets in order to give a good visualizationand representation of a large scale environmentwithout a priori models. Our aim is topropose a simple and generic frame for 3D scene understanding.Tests were realised on different types ofenvironment data: natural and man-made. This researchproject has been realized with EADS (FrenchAir Space Society).
