Abstract

To simplify the point cloud data of three-dimensional reconstruction of object surface, a point cloud simplification method based on K-means and Gauss sphere is proposed. Without changing the geometric features of the model and retaining the details of the object, the redundant data of the point cloud is removed and the point cloud data is greatly simplified. Firstly, the classical point cloud simplification algorithm is introduced, and its advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Then, according to the characteristics of various algorithms, PCA method is used to estimate the normal vector features, K-means and Gauss sphere clustering are used to simplify the point cloud. Finally, the validity of the algorithm is validated by the point cloud data of Stanford Bunny model and Dragon model.
