The Skin of Venice: Automatic Facade Extraction from Point Clouds

Isabella Di Lenardo, Paul Robert Guhennec

We propose a method to extract orthogonal views of facades from photogrammetric models of cities. This method was applied to extract all facades of the city of Venice. The result images open up new areas of research in architectural history. ...

Lidar point-to-point correspondences for rigorous registration of kinematic scanning in dynamic networks

Jan Skaloud, Davide Antonio Cucci, Aurélien Arnaud Brun

With the objective of improving the registration of lidar point clouds produced by kinematic scanning systems, we propose a novel trajectory adjustment procedure that leverages on the automated extraction of selected reliable 3D point–to–point corresponden ...

PointXR: A Toolbox for Visualization and Subjective Evaluation of Point Clouds in Virtual Reality

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou

In this study, we explore the use of virtual reality to subjectively evaluate the visual quality of point cloud contents. To this aim, we develop the PointXR toolbox, a set of Unity applications that can host experiments under variants of interactive and p ...

Point cloud subjective evaluation methodology based on reconstructed surfaces

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou

Point clouds have been gaining importance as a solution to the problem of efficient representation of 3D geometric and visual information. They are commonly represented by large amounts of data, and compression schemes are important for their manipulation ...

In-flight quality assessment and data processing for airborne laser scanning

Philipp Schär

One of the main problems of today's Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) systems is the lack of reliable data QA/QC (Quality Assurance/ Quality Control) within or shortly after the airborne survey campaign. This thesis presents the development of methods to perfo ...

Template-Free Monocular Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Engin Tola, Aydin Varol

It has recently been shown that deformable 3D surfaces could be recovered from single video streams. However, existing techniques either require a reference view in which the shape of the surface is known a priori, which often may not be available, or requ ...
