    基于车载Lidar技术相关的硬件和算法的快速发展,具备发展成快速车载轨道测量技术手段的潜力,从而替代传统的地面人工轨道测量手段。本文针对其中根据钢轨点云获取轨道轨距、钢轨位置等参数的问题,定义了可变轨距轨道模型(VGT, Variable Gauge Track Model),并在此实现了可变轨距轨道模型与钢轨点云的配准方法。新算法在配准迭代过程根据钢轨点云到轨道工作边的距离来动态调整模型轨距,从而在轨道配准精度和轨距测量精度两项关键指标获得了同步提高。通过模拟数分析了存在不同轨距偏差、超高等情况下算法性能,并和单钢轨轨道模型和固定轨距轨道模型的配准结果进行了比较。最后通过一段干线铁路的实测点云进行测试,试验结果表明单钢轨轨道模型配准后左右钢轨的平行性得不到保证;在直线段与固定轨距轨道模型配准精度和轨距测量精度基本相当,配准精度为0.16mm;在曲线段可变轨距轨道模型配准精度和轨距测量精度不受轨距变化的影响,显著优于固定轨距轨道模型的结果。

    Based on IMBR algorithm, this paper proposes an algorithm for building contour extraction which is suitable for different scale digital line graphic (DLG). The new algorithm solves the tooth contour that may occur when IMBR algorithm is used to extract building contour. Firstly, a plane extraction algorithm based on region growth is used to extract the point cloud of the building roof. The algorithm introduces graded seed points and neighborhood-constrained growth criteria to avoid dividing the tree point cloud into building planes. Then, a Foot Point Correction algorithm is proposed to avoid the tooth contour in IMBR algorithm. The experimental results show that the Correctness and completeness of extracting building roof point cloud are above 97%. There is no tooth contour in the extracted building contour, which can meet the requirements of generating DLG with different scales.

    Accurate and complete rail extraction from mobile laser scanning (MLS) data is currently a fundamental and challenging problem for its application on the railway. By using the track knowledge, a signed cylindrical neighborhood difference is defined as the rail descriptor and then proposed a new rail extraction algorithm from MLS data. It can extract accurate, continuous, and complete railhead, which is most critical for the rail geometric parameter and centerline, of the entire railway. Moreover, it can successfully extract the railhead of the main-line, including the curve section with different superelevation, and turnout. A 3-km long trunk railway, including main-line and turnout, straight line and curve line, located in the southwest of China is selected to test the performance of the proposed rail extraction algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can correctly extract the railhead of the whole railway, with an overall accuracy (F-measure) of 88.73%. Its accuracy is improved by 42.68% compared with the rail extraction algorithm based on spherical neighborhood difference.

    A vehicle extraction method is proposed in this paper to extract vehicles in urban areas more accurately from airborne point clouds. First, the ground points are separated from the non-ground points, and a potential vehicle-occupied area (PVOA) is then extracted from the ground point cloud. A PVOA-based non-ground point cloud segmentation method is proposed in this work, and a gap-based method is put forward to re-cluster the segment, which may include multiple vehicles. The non-ground point cloud is clustered into a series of one-vehicle segments and empty segments. Following this, a shape-based vehicle recognition method is presented that can judge whether or not a given segment is a vehicle using a dynamic time warping similarity measurement. In addition to judging whether or not a segment is a vehicle, the category of each vehicle can also be determined...

    In this paper, we propose an improved minimum bounding rectangle (IMBR) algorithm to extract complete and accurate regularized building boundaries with and without partial occlusion from aerial LiDAR point clouds. The new algorithm only uses LiDAR point cloud and doesn't need any additional data source. In addition, the algorithm can be applied to buildings with complex shapes....
