Dataset for trailer angle estimation using radar point clouds.

ABSTRACT: The automotive industry is interested in the estimation of vehicle trailer rotation (trailer angle or hitch angle) due to its use in trailer control algorithms. We present an experimental dataset collected in a study of the estimation problem [1] and a MATLAB code implementation of the study. The data collection apparatus is a truck mock-up that is attached to a flatbed trailer at the hitch ball. Two radars are installed in the taillight fixtures of the truck and a camera is installed in the truck's tailgate like a typical backup camera installation. A rotary motion sensor is also installed at the hitch ball to provide ground truth measurement of the trailer angle. To aid analysis of the dataset, both radar detections are transformed onto a vehicle coordinate system (VCS) having its origin at the hitch ball i.e. the different radar viewpoints are combined into one with respect to the hitch ball. The MATLAB code presented with this article has two major functionalities. The first functionality is the visualization of both radar detections, the combined radar detections in the VCS, the camera images, and the ground truth angles, as the trailer rotates. The second functionality of the code is the replication of the estimation results in [1], which used only the radar detections from the dataset.

Robust Normal Estimation for 3D LiDAR Point Clouds in Urban Environments.

Project description:Normal estimation is a crucial first step for numerous light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data-processing algorithms, from building reconstruction, road extraction, and ground-cover classification to scene rendering. For LiDAR point clouds in urban environments, this paper presents a robust method to estimate normals by constructing an octree-based hierarchical representation for the data and detecting a group of large enough consistent neighborhoods at multiscales. Consistent neighborhoods are mainly determined based on the observation that an urban environment is typically comprised of regular objects, e.g., buildings, roads, and the ground surface, and irregular objects, e.g., trees and shrubs; the surfaces of most regular objects can be approximatively represented by a group of local planes. Even in the frequent presence of heavy noise and anisotropic point samplings in LiDAR data, our method is capable of estimating robust normals for kinds of objects in urban environments, and the estimated normals are beneficial to more accurately segment and identify the objects, as well as preserving their sharp features and complete outlines. The proposed method was experimentally validated both on synthetic and real urban LiDAR datasets, and was compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Object recognition and localization from 3D point clouds by maximum-likelihood estimation.

Project description:We present an algorithm based on maximum-likelihood analysis for the automated recognition of objects, and estimation of their pose, from 3D point clouds. Surfaces segmented from depth images are used as the features, unlike 'interest point'-based algorithms which normally discard such data. Compared to the 6D Hough transform, it has negligible memory requirements, and is computationally efficient compared to iterative closest point algorithms. The same method is applicable to both the initial recognition/pose estimation problem as well as subsequent pose refinement through appropriate choice of the dispersion of the probability density functions. This single unified approach therefore avoids the usual requirement for different algorithms for these two tasks. In addition to the theoretical description, a simple 2?degrees of freedom (d.f.) example is given, followed by a full 6 d.f. analysis of 3D point cloud data from a cluttered scene acquired by a projected fringe-based scanner, which demonstrated an RMS alignment error as low as 0.3?mm.

Visualizing weather radar data from volcanic eruption clouds.

Project description:This paper is submitted to accompany the article "Analyses of three-dimensional weather radar data from volcanic eruption clouds" [1]; it describes three-dimensional (3D) visualizations of the Sakurajima volcanic eruption clouds and the weather radar data used for analyses, as well as their availability and downloading procedures. The radar data were acquired by an operational X-band weather radar located approximately 11 km south of the Showa vent of Sakurajima in Kagoshima, Japan. The original raw radar data are available from the "XRAIN Precipitation Original Data search and Download System", which is hosted on the website "Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS)". Animated images of the radar data shown here, which provide a visual explanation of the temporal evolution and the inner structure of volcanic eruption clouds, were created using the program "Analysis Tools of Three-dimensional Weather Radar Data (AN3D)". The detailed methods of ANT3D are provided in the co-submitted article "Construction of three-dimensional weather radar data from volcanic eruption clouds" [2].

PFuji-Size dataset: A collection of images and photogrammetry-derived 3D point clouds with ground truth annotations for Fuji apple detection and size estimation in field conditions.

Project description:The PFuji-Size dataset is comprised of a collection of 3D point clouds of Fuji apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Fuji) scanned at different maturity stages and annotated for fruit detection and size estimation. Structure-from-motion and multi-view stereo techniques were used to generate the 3D point clouds of 6 complete Fuji apple trees containing a total of 615 apples. The resulting point clouds were 3D segmented by identifying the 3D points corresponding to each apple (3D instance segmentation), obtaining a single point cloud for each apple. All segmented apples were labelled with ground truth diameter annotations. Since the data was acquired in field conditions and at different maturity stages, the set includes different fruit diameters -from 26.9 mm to 94.8 mm- and different fruit occlusion percentages due to foliage. In addition, 25 apples were photographed 360° in laboratory conditions, obtaining high resolution 3D point clouds of this sub-set. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first publicly available dataset for apple size estimation in field conditions. This dataset was used to evaluate different fruit size estimation methods in the research article titled "In-field apple size estimation using photogrammetry-derived 3D point clouds: comparison of 4 different methods considering fruit occlusion" (Gené-Mola et al., 2021).

Fuji-SfM dataset: A collection of annotated images and point clouds for Fuji apple detection and location using structure-from-motion photogrammetry.

Project description:The present dataset contains colour images acquired in a commercial Fuji apple orchard (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Fuji) to reconstruct the 3D model of 11 trees by using structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry. The data provided in this article is related to the research article entitled "Fruit detection and 3D location using instance segmentation neural networks and structure-from-motion photogrammetry" [1]. The Fuji-SfM dataset includes: (1) a set of 288 colour images and the corresponding annotations (apples segmentation masks) for training instance segmentation neural networks such as Mask-RCNN; (2) a set of 582 images defining a motion sequence of the scene which was used to generate the 3D model of 11 Fuji apple trees containing 1455 apples by using SfM; (3) the 3D point cloud of the scanned scene with the corresponding apple positions ground truth in global coordinates. With that, this is the first dataset for fruit detection containing images acquired in a motion sequence to build the 3D model of the scanned trees with SfM and including the corresponding 2D and 3D apple location annotations. This data allows the development, training, and test of fruit detection algorithms either based on RGB images, on coloured point clouds or on the combination of both types of data.

Construction of three-dimensional weather radar data from volcanic eruption clouds.

Project description:Analysis tools of three-dimensional weather radar data (ANT3D) was originally developed at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster prevention (NIED) to retrieve three-dimensional (3D) precipitation and wind fields for convective storms. In 2013, Kagoshima University significantly revised ANT3D for analyses of volcanic eruption clouds, mainly to improve the temporal and spatial interpolation of radar data and estimation of the advection vector, which is required for temporal interpolation. Detailed information pertaining to these algorithms is listed as additional information in this paper.•Procedures necessary for the construction of three-dimensional (3D) volcanic cloud weather radar data are described.•An algorithm based on temporal and elevation angle interpolation methods was used to create 3D constant altitude plan position indicator (3D CAPPI) data with high temporal and spatial resolution.•Two programs (ANT3D_GUI and the CAPPI viewer) are provided for readers interested in analyzing volcanic eruption cloud radar data.

Interpretable representation learning for 3D multi-piece intracellular structures using point clouds.

Project description:A key challenge in understanding subcellular organization is quantifying interpretable measurements of intracellular structures with complex multi-piece morphologies in an objective, robust and generalizable manner. Here we introduce a morphology-appropriate representation learning framework that uses 3D rotation invariant autoencoders and point clouds. This framework is used to learn representations of complex multi-piece morphologies that are independent of orientation, compact, and easy to interpret. We apply our framework to intracellular structures with punctate morphologies (e.g. DNA replication foci) and polymorphic morphologies (e.g. nucleoli). We systematically compare our framework to image-based autoencoders across several intracellular structure datasets, including a synthetic dataset with pre-defined rules of organization. We explore the trade-offs in the performance of different models by performing multi-metric benchmarking across efficiency, generative capability, and representation expressivity metrics. We find that our framework, which embraces the underlying morphology of multi-piece structures, facilitates the unsupervised discovery of sub-clusters for each structure. We show how our approach can also be applied to phenotypic profiling using a dataset of nucleolar images following drug perturbations. We implement and provide all representation learning models using CytoDL, a python package for flexible and configurable deep learning experiments.

Predicting Tree Species From 3D Laser Scanning Point Clouds Using Deep Learning.

Project description:Automated species classification from 3D point clouds is still a challenge. It is, however, an important task for laser scanning-based forest inventory, ecosystem models, and to support forest management. Here, we tested the performance of an image classification approach based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with the aim to classify 3D point clouds of seven tree species based on 2D representation in a computationally efficient way. We were particularly interested in how the approach would perform with artificially increased training data size based on image augmentation techniques. Our approach yielded a high classification accuracy (86%) and the confusion matrix revealed that despite rather small sample sizes of the training data for some tree species, classification accuracy was high. We could partly relate this to the successful application of the image augmentation technique, improving our result by 6% in total and 13, 14, and 24% for ash, oak and pine, respectively. The introduced approach is hence not only applicable to small-sized datasets, it is also computationally effective since it relies on 2D instead of 3D data to be processed in the CNN. Our approach was faster and more accurate when compared to the point cloud-based "PointNet" approach.

Robust Spacecraft Component Detection in Point Clouds.

Project description:Automatic component detection of spacecraft can assist in on-orbit operation and space situational awareness. Spacecraft are generally composed of solar panels and cuboidal or cylindrical modules. These components can be simply represented by geometric primitives like plane, cuboid and cylinder. Based on this prior, we propose a robust automatic detection scheme to automatically detect such basic components of spacecraft in three-dimensional (3D) point clouds. In the proposed scheme, cylinders are first detected in the iteration of the energy-based geometric model fitting and cylinder parameter estimation. Then, planes are detected by Hough transform and further described as bounded patches with their minimum bounding rectangles. Finally, the cuboids are detected with pair-wise geometry relations from the detected patches. After successive detection of cylinders, planar patches and cuboids, a mid-level geometry representation of the spacecraft can be delivered. We tested the proposed component detection scheme on spacecraft 3D point clouds synthesized by computer-aided design (CAD) models and those recovered by image-based reconstruction, respectively. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed scheme can detect the basic geometric components effectively and has fine robustness against noise and point distribution density.

Geological surface reconstruction from 3D point clouds.

Project description:The numerical simulation of phenomena such as subsurface fluid flow or rock deformations are based on geological models, where volumes are typically defined through stratigraphic surfaces and faults, which constitute the geometric constraints, and then discretized into blocks to which relevant petrophysical or stress-strain properties are assigned. This paper illustrates the process by which it is possible to reconstruct the triangulation of 3D geological surfaces assigned as point clouds. These geological surfaces can then be used in codes dedicated to volume discretization to generate models of underground rocks. The method comprises the following: - Characterization of the best fitting plane and identification of the concave hull of the point cloud which is projected on it - Triangulation of the point cloud on the plane, constrained to the Planar Straight Line Graph constituted by the concave hull The algorithm, implemented in C++, depends exclusively on two parameters (nDig, maxCut) which allow one to easily evaluate the optimal refinement level of the hull on a case by case basis.
