Abstract :
The paper proposes a novel method for automatic linear features extraction from raw LiDAR point clouds. Our method bases on the fact that facades of a building in urban area can reflect laser pulses since most of time the scanning angle of the laser scanner does not equal to zero degree. Experimental results show that our algorithm can extract linear features in urban area automatically with high accuracy.
