The invention discloses a statistical and bilateral filtering point cloud denoising method based on improved neighborhood search, and the method comprises the following steps: 1, carrying out the processing of point cloud data through employing a statistical filtering algorithm based on improved neighborhood search, and obtaining the processed point cloud data: 1.1, obtaining a point cloud two-dimensional plane projection drawing; 1.2, carrying out grid division to obtain a plurality of rectangles; 1.3, primarily removing outliers; 1.4, calculating an average distance corresponding to any point p; 1.5, calculating an average distance mu and a standard deviation sigma; 1.6, calculating a maximum threshold value dmax, and removing outlier noise points; and 2, performing bilateral filtering on the processed point cloud data obtained in the step 1 to obtain filtered point cloud data. According to the method, the calculation amount is obviously reduced, and the search speed is increased; point cloud data are processed in combination with a bilateral filtering algorithm, large-scale outlier noise points are removed, small-scale noise points in the point cloud are also removed, and the limitation of independent use of the two algorithms is solved.
