Abstract

We present a novel algorithm for 3D point cloud denoising called weighted multi-projection. As a collection of 3D points sampled from surfaces of objects, a 3D point cloud is widely used in robotics, autonomous driving and augmented reality. Due to the physical limitations of 3D sensing devices, 3D point clouds are usually noisy, which influences subsequent computations. Compared to many previous denoising works, instead of directly smoothing the coordinates of 3D points, we use a two-fold smoothing. We first estimate a local tangent plane at each 3D point and then reconstruct each 3D point by weighted averaging of its projections on multiple tangent planes. We validate the empirical performance on the dataset of ShapeNetCore and show that weighted multi-projection outperforms its competitors in all nine classes.
