Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can obtain tree point cloud with high precision and high density. Efficient classification of wood points and leaf points is essential to study tree structural parameters and ecological characteristics. By using both the intensity and spatial information, a three-step classification and verification method was proposed to achieve automated wood-leaf classification. Tree point cloud was classified into wood points and leaf points by using intensity threshold, neighborhood density and voxelization successively. Experiment was carried in Haidian Park, Beijing, and 24 trees were scanned by using the RIEGL VZ-400 scanner. The tree point clouds were processed by using the proposed method, whose classification results were compared with the manual classification results which were used as standard results. To evaluate the classification accuracy, three indicators were used in the experiment, which are Overall Accuracy (OA), Kappa coefficient (Kappa) and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC). The ranges of OA, Kappa and MCC of the proposed method are from 0.9167 to 0.9872, from 0.7276 to 0.9191, and from 0.7544 to 0.9211 respectively. The average values of OA, Kappa and MCC are 0.9550, 0.8547 and 0.8627 respectively. Time cost of wood-leaf classification was also recorded to evaluate the algorithm efficiency. The average processing time are 1.4 seconds per million points. The results showed that the proposed method performed well automatically and quickly on wood-leaf classification based on the experimental dataset.

Terrestrial laser scanning technology provides an efficient and accuracy solution for acquiring three-dimensional information of plants. The leaf-wood classification of plant point cloud data is a fundamental step for some forestry and biological research. An automatic sampling and training method for classification was proposed based on tree point cloud data. The plane fitting method was used for selecting leaf sample points and wood sample points automatically, then two local features were calculated for training and classification by using support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The point cloud data of ten trees were tested by using the proposed method and a manual selection method. The average correct classification rate and kappa coefficient are 0.9305 and 0.7904, respectively. The results show that the proposed method had better efficiency and accuracy comparing to the manual selection method.
The accurate classification of plant organs is a key step in monitoring the growing status and physiology of plants. A classification method was proposed to classify the leaves and stems of potted plants automatically based on the point cloud data of the plants, which is a nondestructive acquisition. The leaf point training samples were automatically extracted by using the three-dimensional convex hull algorithm, while stem point training samples were extracted by using the point density of a two-dimensional projection. The two training sets were used to classify all the points into leaf points and stem points by utilizing the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The proposed method was tested by using the point cloud data of three potted plants and compared with two other methods, which showed that the proposed method can classify leaf and stem points accurately and efficiently.
Deep learning techniques for point cloud data have demonstrated great potentials in solving classical problems in 3D computer vision such as 3D object classification and segmentation. Several recent 3D object classification methods have reported state-of-the-art performance on CAD model datasets such as ModelNet40 with high accuracy (~92%). Despite such impressive results, in this paper, we argue that object classification is still a challenging task when objects are framed with real-world settings. To prove this, we introduce ScanObjectNN, a new real-world point cloud object dataset based on scanned indoor scene data. From our comprehensive benchmark, we show that our dataset poses great challenges to existing point cloud classification techniques as objects from real-world scans are often cluttered with background and/or are partial due to occlusions. We identify three key open problems for point cloud object classification, and propose new point cloud classification neural networks that achieve state-of-the-art performance on classifying objects with cluttered background. Our dataset and code are publicly available in our project page https://hkust-vgd.github.io/scanobjectnn/.
As 3D point cloud analysis has received increasing attention, the insufficient scale of point cloud datasets and the weak generalization ability of networks become prominent. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective augmentation method for the point cloud data, named PointCutMix, to alleviate those problems. It finds the optimal assignment between two point clouds and generates new training data by replacing the points in one sample with their optimal assigned pairs. Two replacement strategies are proposed to adapt to the accuracy or robustness requirement for different tasks, one of which is to randomly select all replacing points while the other one is to select k nearest neighbors of a single random point. Both strategies consistently and significantly improve the performance of various models on point cloud classification problems. By introducing the saliency maps to guide the selection of replacing points, the performance further improves. Moreover, PointCutMix is validated to enhance the model robustness against the point attack. It is worth noting that when using as a defense method, our method outperforms the state-of-the-art defense algorithms. The code is available at:https://github.com/cuge1995/PointCutMix
Point cloud analysis is attracting attention from Artificial Intelligence research since it can be widely used in applications such as robotics, Augmented Reality, self-driving. However, it is always challenging due to irregularities, unorderedness, and sparsity. In this article, we propose a novel network named Dense-Resolution Network (DRNet) for point cloud analysis. Our DRNet is designed to learn local point features from the point cloud in different resolutions. In order to learn local point groups more effectively, we present a novel grouping method for local neighborhood searching and an error-minimizing module for capturing local features. In addition to validating the network on widely used point cloud segmentation and classification benchmarks, we also test and visualize the performance of the components. Comparing with other state-of-the-art methods, our network shows superiority on ModelNet40, ShapeNet synthetic and ScanObjectNN real point cloud datasets.
