Title
Topologically Consistent Reconstruction for Complex Indoor Structures from Point Clouds
Abstract
Indoor structures are composed of ceilings, walls and floors that need to be modeled for a variety of applications. This paper proposes an approach to reconstructing models of indoor structures in complex environments. First, semantic pre-processing, including segmentation and occlusion construction, is applied to segment the input point clouds to generate semantic patches of structural primitives with uniform density. Then, a primitives extraction method with detected boundary is introduced to approximate both the mathematical surface and the boundary of the patches. Finally, a constraint-based model reconstruction is applied to achieve the final topologically consistent structural model. Under this framework, both the geometric and structural constraints are considered in a holistic manner to assure topologic regularity. Experiments were carried out with both synthetic and real-world datasets. The accuracy of the proposed method achieved an overall reconstruction quality of approximately 4.60 cm of root mean square error (RMSE) and 94.10% Intersection over Union (IoU) of the input point cloud. The development can be applied for structural reconstruction of various complex indoor environments.
