The invention belongs to the field of
image processing methods, and discloses a three-dimensional roof
reconstruction method based on
LiDAR data and ortho images. The method comprises the following steps of: (1)
LiDAR point roof facets segmentation based on a triangular cluster; (2) roof
ridge extraction based on
LiDAR data nad ortho images; (3) three-dimensional roof
model reconstruction. In the method, for meeting the requirement on accurate reconstruction of the three-dimensional roof model, the
LiDAR data and the high-resolution images are integrated, the complementary advantages of the elevation characteristic of the
LiDAR data and the high-resolution characteristic of the images are comprehensively used, 'roof facets segmentation,
ridge extracton and three-dimensional roof
model reconstruction' is taken as a
principal line, a LiDAR point roof facets segmentation
algorithm based on the triangular cluster and a roof
ridge extraction algorithm based on the
LiDAR data and the ortho images are realized, and a new method for three-dimensional roof
model reconstruction is formed. Tests show that the method of the invention has high
automation degree, higher accuracy and integrity and high location precision in modeling, and meets the needs of actual application.
