The invention discloses a scattered
point cloud compression
algorithm based on feature reservation. The scattered
point cloud compression
algorithm comprises the following steps: step 1, taking a point from a
point set, utilizing a partitioning technology to search K neighborhood, and creating a
point cloud topologic relation; step 2, according to the K neighborhood of the point, calculating normal vectors and curvature of the point cloud, and adjusting the normal vector directions to enable the normal vector directions to be consistent; step 3, according to the curvature, taking out feature points meeting the requirements and reserving the feature points; step 4, taking an
octree theory as a basis, according to a simplification principle, in the premise of ensuring the object characteristics, simplifying the point cloud. The scattered point cloud compression
algorithm has the advantages that the partitioning technology is utilized to improve the
neighborhood search, and data simplification is completed on the basis of object feature reservation. The compression algorithm can be used for the fields such as mapping,
computer graphics, and true three-dimensional
model reconstruction, is high in reliability, good in compression effect, and wide in application prospect.
