Compression method of airborne high-density laser point clouds, storage device and laser radar

Abstract

The invention discloses a compression method of airborne high-density laser point clouds, a storage device and a laser radar. The compression method includes the following steps that: spatial indexes are established for discretely distributed point cloud data by using a preset indexing mode; the spatial distribution features of the point clouds of a specific area are obtained through the related theory of a discrete surface, the local surface features of the laser point clouds are calculated; on the basis of data features required by a specific application, a certain quantity of point clouds containing the data features are extracted and reserved, and the point clouds containing the data features are adopted as global features; compression algorithms which are matched with the requirements of the application are screened out from universally applied discrete data down-sampling algorithms, and the compression algorithms are improved so as to be applied to the compression of dense point cloud data; and the selection and design of the compression algorithms are guided by means of point cloud compression algorithm evaluation. According to the compression method of the airborne high-density laser point clouds, the storage device and the laser radar of the invention, an efficient hierarchical segmentation algorithm is adopted, and a large number of dense point clouds are rapidly compressed through using a strategy of reserving boundary points, and therefore, the fast and efficient compression of high-density three-dimensional laser point cloud data which retains topographic features is realized.
