A semantic labeling framework for ALS point clouds based on discretization and CNN

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The airborne laser scanning (ALS) point cloud has drawn increasing attention thanks to its capability to quickly acquire large-scale and high-precision ground information. Due to the complexity of observed scenes and the irregularity of point distribution, the semantic labeling of ALS point clouds is extremely challenging. In this paper, we introduce an efficient discretization based framework according to the geometric character of ALS point clouds, and propose an original intraclass weighted cross entropy loss function to solve the problem of data imbalance. We evaluate our framework on the ISPRS (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) 3D Semantic Labeling dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method has achieved a new state-of-the-art performance in terms of overall accuracy (85.3%) and average F1 score (74.1%).
