Automatic object detection in point clouds based on knowledge guided algorithms

2013

The modeling of real-world scenarios through capturing 3D digital data has been proven applicable in a variety of industrial applications, ranging from security, to robotics and to fields in the medical sciences. These different scenarios, along with variable conditions, present a challenge in discovering flexible appropriate solutions. In this paper, we present a novel approach based on a human cognition model to guide processing. Our method turns traditional data-driven processing into a new strategy based on a semantic knowledge system. Robust and adaptive methods for object extraction and identification are modeled in a knowledge domain, which has been created by purely numerical strate…
