Abstract

This paper proposes a real-time feature extraction and segmentation method for a 3D point cloud. First of all, we apply Growing Neural Gas with Utility (GNG-U) to the point cloud for learning a topological structure. However, the standard GNG-U cannot learn the topological structure of 3D space environment and color information simultaneously. To this end, we then modify the GNG-U algorithm by using a weight vector. we propose a surface feature extraction and segmentation method by efficiently utilizing the topological structure. Our segmentation method is based on a region growing method whose similarity value uses the inner value of two normal vectors connected by the topological structure. We show experimental results of the proposed method and discuss the effectiveness of the proposed method.
