Abstract:

To further improve the performance of the point cloud simplification algorithm and reserve the feature information of parts point cloud, a new method based on modified fuzzy c -means (MFCM) clustering algorithm with feature information reserved is proposed. Firstly, the normal vector, angle entropy, curvature, and density information of point cloud are calculated by combining principal component analysis (PCA) and k -nearest neighbors ( k -NN) algorithm, respectively; Secondly, gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is introduced to optimize the initial cluster center of fuzzy c -means (FCM) clustering algorithm. Thirdly, the point cloud data combined coordinates with its feature information are divided by the MFCM algorithm. Finally, the point cloud is simplified according to point cloud feature information and simplified parameters. The point cloud test data are simplified using the new algorithm and traditional algorithms; then, the results are compared and discussed. The results show that the new proposed algorithm can not only effectively improve the precision of point cloud simplification but also reserve the accuracy of part features.
