Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a three-dimensional point cloud segmentation unit for segmenting a three-dimensional point cloud of an object using clustering parameters so that the smaller the distance between points in the three-dimensional point cloud is, the more likely the points are to be clustered into the same cluster; a cluster mapping unit for generating a mapped point cloud by mapping clusters of the three-dimensional point cloud to a two-dimensional image based on the correspondence between the coordinates of the three-dimensional point cloud and the coordinates of pixels of the two-dimensional image; a label matching unit for assigning labels to points in the mapped point cloud based on a target label and position information in the two-dimensional image; a matching result voting unit for voting for labels of the points; and a label determination unit for determining the label for the points based on voting results.
