Abstract
A point cloud is colorized by mapping a color image using an intensity image. The mapping includes detecting multiple features from the intensity image using a feature-extraction algorithm. A feature is extracted that is not within a predetermined vicinity of an edge in the intensity image. A template is created by selecting a portion of a predetermined size from the intensity image with the feature at the center. A search window is created with the same size as the template by selecting a portion of a luminance image as a search space. The luminance image is obtained from the color image. A cost value is computed for each pixel of the search space by comparing image gradients of the template and the search window. A matching point is determined in the color image corresponding to the feature based on the cost value for each pixel of search space.
