Abstract

The application relates to an unsupervised point cloud segmentation method and system, and relates to the technical field of target segmentation, and comprises the following steps: S1, acquiring point cloud data, estimating a neighborhood radius, and making the ratio of a first target eigenvalue and a second target eigenvalue not less than a preset value when a directionless normal of each point is extracted based on PCA; S2, acquiring a local representative subset through range search based on the estimated neighborhood radius; estimating a local tangent plane of each point in the local representative subset based on PCA, and extracting a directionless normal of each point based on the local tangent plane of each point; and S3, performing plane segmentation based on the directionless normal of each point. The neighborhood radius is estimated by calculating eigenvalues based on PCA analysis, so that the plane information in original data is fully utilized when the normal of each point is estimated. The unsupervised system does not need training data or manual intervention, and can obtain a point cloud segmentation result in a short time and at a low calculation cost.
