Researchers Use Lidar Point Cloud Reconstruction To Improve Railway Systems

Researchers Use Lidar Point Cloud Reconstruction To Improve Railway Systems

In an article published in Remote Sensing, researchers presented a point cloud reconstruction approach for a mobile laser scanning technique based on trajectory filtering. The authors employed deep learning to identify railway feature recognition points, and Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) filtering to enhance the trajectory outcomes and correct the odometer data. The maximum discrepancy between the east ...
