An Integrated Approach for Accurate 3D Point Cloud Recognition of Substation Equipment Using PSO and kNN Classification

Abstract

Low efficiency and poor accuracy are caused by missing data in traditional 3D reconstruction methods. This study suggests a new 3D point cloud recognition technique for substation equipment based on 3D laser scanning point clouds, which combines the k-nearest neighbour (KNN) classification algorithm and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm, to address these issues. The particle swarm optimisation algorithm optimises the coefficient weights of each subspace feature. The k-nearest neighbour classification algorithm is then used to finish the classification. To confirm the superiority and accuracy of the suggested approach, the impact of the point cloud subspace’s size and loss rate on the recognition effect is examined experimentally and contrasted with the enhanced iterative nearest point algorithm. With an average recognition time of 0.19 seconds and a recognition accuracy of over 95\%, the experimental results demonstrate the method’s good performance in terms of efficiency and accuracy, opening up a wide range of potential applications.
