This invention discloses a fast
point cloud segmentation method based on image mapping for local workpiece
grinding and
polishing, belonging to the fields of
robot vision
perception,
image processing, and 3D
point cloud segmentation technology. The method first sets a red closed boundary around the area to be ground and polished. Then, a
robotic arm equipped with a depth camera simultaneously acquires RGB color images and depth data, constructing an ordered
point cloud with a one-to-one correspondence between image pixels. Subsequently, the red boundary is detected by fusing features from multiple color spaces (HSV, RGB, and Lab). A
mask for the area to be ground and polished is obtained through morphological closing operations, maximum contour filtering, and region filling. Finally, the point cloud of the area to be ground and polished is extracted based on the correspondence between the target pixel positions in the
mask and the midpoint positions in the ordered point cloud. This invention reduces the computational complexity of direct 3D
point cloud segmentation and improves the accuracy, stability, and
processing efficiency of point cloud extraction for local areas to be ground and polished.
