US Patent Issued to WUHAN UNIVERSITY on Jan. 20 for "Airborne LiDAR point cloud filtering method device based on super-voxel ground saliency" (Chinese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,530,842, issued on Jan. 20, was assigned to WUHAN UNIVERSITY (Hubei, China).

"Airborne LiDAR point cloud filtering method device based on super-voxel ground saliency" was invented by Yongjun Zhang (Hubei, China), Weiwei Fan (Hubei, China) and Xinyi Liu (Hubei, China).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An airborne LiDAR point cloud filtering method based on super-voxel ground saliency is provided. The method begins by denoising the input LiDAR point cloud, employing a boundary-preserving TBBP super-voxel algorithm for super-voxel segmentation. The super-voxels are categorized into scanning bands in N directions based on their centroid coordina...
