METHOD FOR COLORIZATION OF POINT CLOUD DATA BASED ON RADIOMETRIC IMAGERY
First Claim
1. A method for improving visualization and interpretation of spatial data of a location, comprising:
- registering at least a first radiometric image and three-dimensional (3-D) point cloud data;
dividing the first radiometric image into a first plurality of image regions;
identifying one or more cloud data portions of said 3-D point cloud data associated with each of said first plurality of image regions based on said registering; and
applying portion color values to said cloud data portions, said portion color values comprising region color values for corresponding ones of said first plurality of regions.

Abstract
Systems and methods for improving visualization and interpretation of spatial data of a location are provided. In the method, a first radiometric image and three-dimensional (3-D) point cloud data registered (306) and the radiometric image is divided into a first plurality of image regions (308). Afterwards, one or more cloud data portions of the 3-D point cloud data associated with each of the first plurality of image regions are identified based on the registering (312). Portion color values, consisting of the region color values for corresponding ones of the first plurality of regions, are then applied to the cloud data portions (314). In some cases, an adjustment of the color values can be performed (318).
