Description

Method for extracting trees in outdoor point cloud scene based on energy function
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of artificial intelligence calculation methods, and particularly relates to an extraction method of trees in an outdoor point cloud scene based on an energy function.
Background
With the development of virtual reality, artificial intelligence and computer vision technology, the analysis of various three-dimensional outdoor scenes has become a research subject with important research significance and application value. The tree is used as one of important elements in urban scenes, and is widely applied to the fields of urban planning construction, 3D tree modeling, urban tree detection and the like. In recent years, researchers have proposed many different methods for extracting trees from LiDAR data, mainly a segmentation and classification process, and most algorithms are implemented based on this idea. Currently, tree extraction methods based on segmentation and classification are mainly divided into six major categories:
(1) Tree extraction based on region growing: including dividing building structures and individual trees. The single tree extracted by the method has high precision and good performance in a relatively simple outdoor environment. Region-based methods fall into two categories: seed region (or bottom-up) methods and non-seed region (or top-down) methods. The segmentation of the region based on seeds is started by selecting a plurality of seed points, and from the seed points as starting points, a point cloud region is gradually formed by adding seed neighborhood points. This method has a long processing time and is susceptible to noise points. The new and improved method for detecting the point cloud by taking the characteristics of gradient, normal vector, curvature and the like as the growth criteria is provided later, the method improves the segmentation robustness, is insensitive to outliers and noise points, but if the initial seed points and the growth rules are improperly selected, the problems of over segmentation or under segmentation and the like are caused. The non-seed region method is a top-down based method, all points are firstly classified into the same region, then the points in the region are subjected to refinement treatment and gradually divided into small regions until the division is completed, the division result of the non-seed region method depends on the division position and mode, and the use of the method is greatly limited due to the fact that a large amount of priori knowledge such as object models, the number of regions and the like are required.
(2) Tree extraction based on attribute features: the method is based on the attribute of the point cloud data for segmentation, and has good robustness. Firstly, calculating attributes of point cloud data, including texture features, normal vectors, color information and the like, then clustering the features, and finally dividing point clouds of different features. The method depends on the definition of the neighborhood between the points and the point density of the point cloud data, so that the defects of high time complexity and low processing efficiency exist along with the increase of the point cloud data density, and the method is not suitable for processing the point cloud data with larger scale.
(3) Tree extraction based on graph optimization: the method based on graph optimization is to take point cloud data as vertexes, construct edges by utilizing the spatial neighborhood relation of points, weight connecting edges by utilizing the similarity of neighborhood points to construct a graph, and realize the segmentation of the point cloud by utilizing a graph cutting method. A well-known graph optimization method is a graph-based segmentation algorithm (FH algorithm), which is simple and efficient to find the minimum spanning tree in the graph. The method based on graph optimization generally adopts a strategy solution of global optimization, can obtain a global optimization result, and is not influenced by scene complexity and mathematical models. However, due to the complex process of constructing the graph, when the point cloud data is large in scale, the optimization process cannot generally run in real time.
(4) Tree extraction based on model fitting: the method is mainly used for extracting objects with specific shapes, including planes, cylinders and spheres, the fitting degree of the cloud of detection points to model parameters is needed, data belonging to the target objects in object data with specific shapes are reserved, and then a complete tree is displayed through combination. When using a model-based fitting method, each extracted tree cluster requires a refinement process. This method has a pure mathematical principle, is fast and powerful. The method is limited by sensitivity to noise, so that the experimental result is not ideal under the conditions of huge data and complex scene.
(5) Cluster-based tree extraction: clusters are considered to be high density regions of the data space that are separated by low density regions. The guiding thought is as follows: as soon as the density of points in a region is above a certain threshold, it is added to clusters that are close to it. The method is widely applied to extracting individual trees from MLS data, and can quickly and successfully separate single trees, but the problem of insufficient clustering or over-clustering often exists, so that the tree extraction is not complete.
(6) Voxel-based tree extraction: the method comprises the steps of firstly converting point cloud into a voxel format when preprocessing point cloud data, carrying out neighborhood judgment by taking voxels as units, and realizing the segmentation of point cloud series by comparing the color, the intensity and the spatial position of points to extract candidate trees; although good results are obtained, the performance is severely limited by voxel granularity and boundary blurring caused by different point cloud partitions, resulting in loss of segmentation accuracy.

Detailed Description
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the detailed description.
The invention discloses a tree extraction method in an outdoor point cloud scene based on an energy function, which is shown in fig. 1 and comprises the following steps:
step 1, as shown in fig. 2, selecting LiDAR point cloud data, projecting the LiDAR point cloud data onto a two-dimensional plane, and removing plane points in the LiDAR point cloud data to obtain candidate tree points. The initial LiDAR point cloud data is divided into ground points and non-ground points, and specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1.1, randomly selecting at least three non-collinear points in LiDAR point cloud data, fitting the points to form a plane, and calculating four coefficients of the plane through normal vectors; the number of points constituting the plane is determined according to the model, and the minimum data number suitable for the model is generally selected, and as one plane is fitted, at least three points are required to be selected and are not collinear;
step 1.2, calculating the distance from each point remained in LiDAR point cloud data to the plane in step 1.1, judging the point which is closer to the plane according to a threshold value, marking the point as the local point of the model, and recording the number of the local points of the model;

in the step 1.3.1 of the method,let W denote the probability of randomly extracting local points, n 'denote the number of data to be selected for calculating model parameters, and calculate the probability W that all the n' points extracted randomly are local points n′ The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Calculating the probability of at least one extra-local point being present, denoted as 1-W n′ The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Calculating the probability (1-W that at least one outlier exists for each iteration k' times n′ ) k′ When k' is sufficiently large, the probability (1-W n′ ) k′ Will be small, meaning that the higher the model reliability; the probability that at least one set of correct model parameters can be obtained by iterating k' times is recorded as 1- (1-W) n′ ) k′

step 1.3.3, logarithm of confidence level P, back-extrapolated k' =log (1-P)/log (1-W) n′ ) The k 'value is the iteration termination condition, and the loop is exited when the actual iteration number is not less than k'.
And step 1.4, eliminating the plane point set in the step 1.3 to obtain candidate tree points.
Step 2, assuming that any one candidate tree point in the step 1 represents one cluster, clustering the candidate trees by using a Euclidean clustering algorithm, and storing all clusters obtained by clustering in a cluster C.
If each candidate tree point represents a cluster, the candidate trees are directly clustered and solved through an energy function, so that insufficient memory is easily caused when similarity data between each data point and the rest data points are stored. Therefore, the Euclidean clustering algorithm is utilized to perform clustering processing on the candidate trees, the candidate tree points are divided into a plurality of clusters, and the initial number of clusters is reduced.
Step 2.1, establishing a topological structure for the candidate tree points in the step 1 by using the kd-tree; the method comprises the following steps:

Step 2.2, randomly selecting any point p in the topological structure in step 2.1, finding k points closest to the point p through a kd-tree neighbor search algorithm, and clustering the points with the distance smaller than a set threshold value into a set Q;
step 2.3, selecting points except p points in the set Q, searching k neighbors through kd-tree, adding the points smaller than the distance threshold value into the set Q, and repeating the process until the number of elements in the set Q is not increased, and completing one cluster division;
and 2.4, continuously selecting points outside the set Q, repeating the steps 2.2 and 2.3 until all the points in the topological structure are divided into a certain cluster, and storing the clusters obtained by all the clusters in the cluster C.
As shown in FIG. 3, the points in FIG. 2 are separated into 11 total parts by Euclidean clustering, AA\BB\CC\DD\EE\FF\HH\II\JJ\GG KK.
Step 3, performing similarity matrix calculation on the cluster C obtained in the step 2; the energy function of cluster C is then calculated, and the clusters in cluster C are merged according to the energy function.
Clustering the outdoor scene point cloud data by Euclidean distance to obtain a cluster C, wherein the aim is to combine the relatively similar data samples together, and then find two most similar clusters by calculating the value of a similarity matrix and combine the two most similar clusters to form a new cluster. But the above-described approach to finding the best-combined cluster only reveals the locally best-combined situation. Therefore, when solving for similarity, unique constraints and conditional constraints are added to compose an energy function by which it is analyzed whether two clusters need to be merged. Based on the principle of minimizing the energy function, when a tree is clustered into a plurality of clusters, cluster merging can be effectively performed.
Step 3.1, setting the j-th element of the ith row of the adjacent matrix, cluster c i The centroid of (2) is denoted as p i Cluster c j The centroid of (2) is denoted as p j Calculating Euclidean distance dis (p i ,p j ,c i ,c j ) Direction difference dir (p) i ,p j ,c i ,c j ) Similarity value W (c) i ,c j ) As in formulas (1) - (3):
dis(p i ,p j ,c i ,c j )=||p i -p j || (1)
W(c i ,c j )=λdis(p i ,p j ,c i ,c j )+βdir(p i ,p j ,c i ,c j ) (3)
in the formulas (1) - (3), the parameter V represents p i Or p j P by least squares linear fitting method i Or p j Fitting a plane locally, and then solving a direction vector corresponding to the maximum characteristic value to be a main direction; where the parameter λ+β=1, λ is between 0 and 1 and the value of λ depends on the cluster c i Wherein, the density of the polymer is equal to or higher than that of the polymer,parameter p * Belonging to cluster c i K "represents cluster c i Is a total point of the total number.
And 3.2, setting the cluster C in the step 2 to contain n clusters, wherein the two-dimensional matrix M represents the relation among each cluster and is a symmetrical matrix, and the value is 0 or 1, and the merging principle is to merge clusters with the value of 1 in the two-dimensional matrix M. The method comprises the following steps:
step 3.2.1, initializing elements in the two-dimensional matrix M based on Euclidean distance, if the distance is not more than 0.2M, initializing the data in the corresponding two-dimensional matrix M to be 1, otherwise, initializing the data in the two-dimensional matrix M to be 0;
step 3.2.2, adding a unique constraint, such as a formula (4), wherein the unique constraint indicates that only one element in each row of the two-dimensional matrix M after being updated by the energy function formula is assigned with 1, and particularly only one-to-one relation occurs in each iterative clustering process; using M ij To represent the value of (i, j) in the two-dimensional matrix M, if M after the energy function is updated ij =1, then M ji =1, representing the corresponding cluster c i And c j Combining;
step 3.2.3, adding a conditional constraint, such as a formula (5), wherein the conditional constraint represents that the cluster most suitable for merging is found according to the similarity matrix of the two clusters with the maximum similarity value;
wherein parameter S ij,is Is a matrix due to the requirement of getting the current ith row and cluster c i Another cluster that is most similar, so the current cluster c is added i Computing cluster c with respect to other clusters i And c j A value of the effect of time; wherein S is ij,is In "ij" represents the value of the j-th column of the current i-th row, and "is" represents cluster c i With other cluster values, S ij,is Then cluster c is represented i And c j The weight of (2) is:
where if j=s, γ=0, whereas γ=1;
step 3.2.4, in combination with the unique constraint of step 3.2.2 and the conditional constraint of step 3.2.3, can yield an energy function, such as equation (7),
in order to obtain the value of the energy function more conveniently and intuitively, formulas of the unique constraint and the conditional constraint are simplified respectively.
Simplifying the unique constraint formula:
wherein the method comprises the steps ofThe derivation of (2) is shown in the formula (9):
after simplification, the energy function PE is as shown in formula (10):
the pre-update energy function PE' is equation (11),
bringing equation (10) into equation (11) to obtain
Step 3.2.5, to minimize the energy function, it is necessary to update the energy function PE from then on O And the energy function PE' before updating is analyzed as shown in formula (13):
ED=PE O -PE' (13)
Based on the analysis of the update process energy variation, the energy change will be determined from M in the formula pq Become M' pq As in equation (14):
since j=s, then S' pq,pq =0, obtainable:
from equation (14)
Since ED.ltoreq.0 is always maintained, on this basis, an updated rule is proposed as shown in equation (17):
step 3.2.6, updating the two-dimensional symmetric matrix M through the formula (17) in the step 3.2.5, and merging according to the updated result; if the calculated value of formula (17) is greater than 0, cluster c i And cluster c j The corresponding value in the two-dimensional array is marked as 0; if the calculated value of equation (17) is equal to 0, cluster c i And cluster c j The corresponding value in the two-dimensional array is marked as 1; if the calculated value of equation (17) is less than 0, cluster c i And cluster c j The corresponding value in the two-dimensional array is unchanged;
and 3.2.7, merging the clusters with the median value of 1 in the two-dimensional matrix processed in the step 3.2.6, and repeating the steps until no clusters can be merged.
