In this paper, we propose an automatic workflow for roof reconstruction by polygonal models from classified high-density LIDAR data. Roof planes are initially delineated by a segmentation algorithm combining a robust Hough-based normal estimator and a region growing strategy. Then, each roof is modeled by a 2D α -shape mesh which is used to discover not only building outline but also all ridges defined by intersecting roof planes, without any geometrical calculations. The mesh directly encodes the topological relations between neighboring planes which allows us to build the final polygonal model straightforwardly. This topological approach makes our solution more simple and robust than existing methods which mostly extract the intersection lines by means of geometrical computations. Experimental results show that the proposed workflow offers a high success rate for extraction at plane level (94% completeness, 92.7% correctness, 90.8% quality) when LIDAR point density is sufficiently high.","PeriodicalId":338597,"journal":{"name":"J.

The pruning of input views decides which fragments of views are redundant, i.e., do not provide new information about the three-dimensional scene, as these fragments were already visible from different views. The proposed modification of the pruning uses both color and depth and utilizes the adaptive pruning threshold which increases the robustness against the noisy input. As performed experiments have shown, the proposal provides significant improvement in the quality of encoded multiview videos and decreases erroneous areas in the decoded video caused by different camera characteristics, specular surfaces, and mirror-like reflections.

The first stage of our measurement pipeline comprises the creation of a dense 3D point cloud using structure-from-motion (SfM). Furthermore, the wound area is segmented from the surrounding skin using dynamic thresholding in CIELAB color space and a surface is estimated to simulate the missing skin in the wound area. Together with a mesh reconstruction of the wound, the skin surface and the segmented wound is used to calculate the wound dimensions, i.e., its length, surface area and volume. We evaluate the presented pipeline using three wound phantoms, representing different stages in healing, and compare the subsequently scanned and measured wound dimensions with manually measured ones.","PeriodicalId":338597,"journal":{"name":"J.

Benthic studies often rely on the subjective evaluation of video material recorded using underwater drones. The demand for automatic image segmentation and quantitative evaluation arises due to the large volume of video data collected. This study performed a semantic segmentation task by training the PSPNet architecture with ResNet-34 backbone for 50 epochs using imagery prepared by simply extracting a few video frames or stitch- ing a multitude of frames into a large 2D mosaic. Mosaicking is a particularly resource-intensive step, therefore, the possibility to skip such preprocessing would result in a more rapid analysis. The effect on the resulting seg- mentation quality was investigated by estimating the seabed coverage of three classes (Furcellaria lumbricalis, Mytilus edulis trossulus, and boulders) in a video material obtained from the Baltic Sea. Segmentation success, measured by intersection over union, varied between 0.56 and 0.84, usually slightly better for frames than for the mosaic overall. Absolute differences in estimated coverage were negligible (mosaic vs. frames): 0.24% vs. 1.26% for furcellaria, 0.44% vs. 2.46% for mytilus, and 4.02% vs. 2.06% for boulders. Due to the differences between predicted coverage and the mosaic-based ground truth being in an acceptable range, the findings suggest that the mosaicking step could be safely skipped in favor of a few equally spaced sample frames.","PeriodicalId":338597,"journal":{"name":"J.

We therefore propose a real-time enabled combination of an isochrone-based and a network-based representation of travel times obtained from multi-modal routing analysis using interactive lenses. We furthermore present a GPU-accelerated image-based method to compute isochrones based on a travel time-attributed network on client-side and thus achieve reduced data transmission efforts while yielding isochrones of higher precision, compared to generalized geometry-based approaches.","PeriodicalId":338597,"journal":{"name":"J.

However, 3D models automatically reconstructed in this way often contain irrelevant objects or artifacts, such as holes or noise, due to erroneous scan data and error-prone reconstruction processes. This paper presents an approach for interactive editing of signed distance functions, derived from RGB-D data in the form of regular voxel grids, that enables the manual refinement and enhancement of reconstructed 3D geometry. To this end, we combine concepts known from constructive solid geometry, where complex models are created from simple base shapes, with the voxel-based representation of geometry reconstructed from real-world scans. Our approach can be implemented entirely on GPU to enable real-time interaction. Further, we present how to implement high-level operators, such as copy, move, and unification.","PeriodicalId":338597,"journal":{"name":"J.
