Abstract: To tackle the problems of individual building segmentation, this paper proposes an automatic building boundary segmentation method for point clouds derived from the oblique photogrammetry. First, the ground and noise points are filtered out through the pre-processing stage. Then, the point clouds are voxelized for the segmentation. An improved Otsu method and the distance-based region-growing algorithm are integrated to apply to the voxelized point clouds for the boundary extraction. We verify the proposed method with two datasets captured in the Jiangmen and Zhanjiang of the Guangdong Province. The results show that the segmentation accuracy achieve 87.8% and 92.3% for Jiangmen and Zhanjiang datasets, respectively. This suggests that the proposed method is highly applicable to the building segmentation.
