Abstract
In the process of acquiring a point cloud, due to the shielding of the building itself and other ground objects (such as vegetation), the collected point cloud cannot cover the building facades surface uniformly and completely, and can produce several holes of different sizes. The existing hole-filling methods cannot obtain satisfying repaired results. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new hole-filling approach considering the local similarity among floors. The proposed approach first detects holes in the building facade surface and then identifies the building floors; next, according to the fact that building data are similar in the same position on different floors, the holes of the building facade point cloud can be filled using the data of different floors. The study examines three large buildings to verify the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art filling methods; the filling results of the proposed method are closer to the real shape and can be smoothly connected with the original building point cloud. Moreover, the proposed method has greater accuracy when comparing the root mean square error (RMSE).
