Forward to the theme issue on point cloud processing
Abstract
Three-dimensional point cloud processing is becoming more and more important due to the increasing need for rapid information extraction and modeling of complex environments. This critical need rises from emerging areas such as road infrastructure mapping and monitoring, industrial automation, urban modeling, building information modeling (BIM) and autonomous driving. Point clouds from LiDAR or passive imaging technologies often contain millions to billions of 3D points. Many challenges need to be addressed in understanding and modeling such massive point clouds. With this issue, we would like to explore new avenues in all aspects of 3D point cloud processing, and the theme issue is a collection of recent developments.
