An Improved Multi‐Task Pointwise Network for Segmentation of Building Roofs in Airborne Laser Scanning Point Clouds

open access: yesThe Photogrammetric Record, Volume 37, Issue 179, Page 260-284, September 2022., 2022
Zhang et al. propose an improved multi‐task pointwise network to simultaneously segment instances (that is, individual roof planes) and semantics (that is, groups of roof planes with similar geometric shapes) in point clouds. A new roof data‐set (called RoofNTNU) is established by taking standard airborne laser scanning (ALS) point clouds as training ...
