Deep Learning for Feature Extraction from Point Clouds

Dmitry Kudinov, Senior Principal Data Scientist at Esri Inc., USA

• Summary: LiDAR sensors are an important and reach source of high-precision 3D point clouds, which are quite useful in modern urban design and planning. Such point clouds are easy to collect but slow and expensive to segment into classes and objects. We are going to talk about various applications of common deep neural networks in segmenting and labeling point clouds for fast reconstruction of 3D building models at scale, detection of overhead conductors and utility poles, street furniture etc. In conclusion, we are going to talk about how deep learning can be used to segment continuous meshes produced by photogrammetric processes.
