A Skewness-Based Density Metric and Deep Learning Framework for Point Cloud Analysis: Detection of Non-Uniform Regions and Boundary Extraction

This paper redefines point cloud density by utilizing statistical skewness derived from the geometric relationships between points and their local centroids. By comparing with a symmetric uniform reference model, this method can efficiently describe distribution patterns and detect non-uniform regions. Furthermore, a deep learning model trained on these skewness features achieves 85.96% accuracy in automated boundary extraction, significantly reducing omission errors compared to conventional density-based methods. The proposed framework offers an effective solution for automated point cloud segmentation and modeling.

Abstract

This paper redefines point cloud density by utilizing statistical skewness derived from the geometric relationships between points and their local centroids. By comparing with a symmetric uniform reference model, this method can efficiently describe distribution patterns and detect non-uniform regions. Furthermore, a deep learning model trained on these skewness features achieves 85.96% accuracy in automated boundary extraction, significantly reducing omission errors compared to conventional density-based methods. The proposed framework offers an effective solution for automated point cloud segmentation and modeling.
