Abstract: In this paper,a method is proposed to recognize the transmission high voltage towers automatically in ALS point cloud.Firstly,we denoise the ALS data with statistical method.Secondly,we calculate and analyze 2D grid features to extract the rough area of transmission towers.Finally,we recognize the transmission towers from rough tower areas by confirming the bounding grids with linear feature,and calculate the 2D tower center by hierarchical slicing analysis.The proposed method is validated with the transmission line ALS data obtained by the actual inspection of the large-scale unmanned helicopter.Experiment shows that the proposed method recognizes the transmission towers automatically and effectively,which means the proposed method can be applied to processing actual transmission inspection ALS data.
