Point-cloud fusion
First Claim
1. A method for creating a collective point-cloud data from a plurality of local point-cloud data, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing scanner data comprising said plurality of local point-cloud data, wherein said local point-cloud data comprises relatively low-precision positioning data of said scanner;
creating a relatively medium-precision collective point-cloud data from said plurality of local point-cloud data; and
creating a relatively high-precision collective point-cloud data from said medium-precision collective point-cloud data;
wherein said step of creating a medium-precision collective point-cloud data comprises providing external (medium-precision) positioning data associated with each of said plurality of local point-cloud data.

Abstract
A method and a system for creating a collective point-cloud data from a plurality of local point-cloud data including the steps of: providing scanner data containing a plurality of local point-cloud data and relatively low-precision positioning data of the scanner providing the local point-cloud data, creating a relatively medium-precision collective point-cloud data from the plurality of local point-cloud data using external (medium-precision) positioning data associated with each of said plurality of local point-cloud data, and then creating a relatively high-precision collective point-cloud data from said medium-precision collective point-cloud data.

20. A method of creating a collective point-cloud data comprising a plurality of local point-clouds, said method comprising the steps of:
-
extracting at least one feature from a first local point-cloud; extracting at least one feature from a second local point-cloud; matching at least one feature of said first local point-cloud with at least one feature of said second local point-cloud; and affecting a relative transformation comprising at least one of rotation and translation on at least one of said first and second local point-clouds to align said feature from said first local point-cloud with said feature from said second local point-cloud. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
