Abstract
The present invention discloses a distance statistics based method for 3D sonar point cloud image enhancement, comprising the following steps: (1) obtaining sonar data, and converting 3D sonar range image information corresponding to sonar data per frame into point cloud data in global coordinate; (2) using a kd-tree to search the point cloud data, and calculate Euclidean distance Lbetween point Pand the nearest K point cloud data; wherein, value range of i and j is 1≤i≤N and 1≤j≤K respectively; N refers to the total quantity of point cloud data; (3) excluding point cloud data corresponding to mean value of Lwhich do not match the certain Gaussian distribution, and complete enhancement of 3D sonar point cloud image. Such method features in easy operation, high efficiency and convenience, which can effectively remove outlier points to minimize noise, and enhance point cloud image.
