New LiDAR sampling method improves 3D construction scene analysis

Researchers have developed a new incidence-aware sampling strategy for individual LiDAR scans to improve 3D scene understanding in construction. This method addresses challenges like limited surface coverage and varying point density by mapping points to a normalized manifold space before voxel-based selection, while retaining original coordinates for downstream learning. Experiments using the SIP benchmark with Point Transformer and PointNeXt models demonstrated enhanced segmentation performance, particularly for non-planar elements and ladders, and reduced sensitivity to sampling resolution.
