Abstract

Methods and devices for processing image data stored as three-dimensional point clouds related to a scene by selecting a profile definable in a two-dimensional surface, and matching the profile to one or more subsets of the cloud of points to identify surfaces in the scene having the same profile so that data sets representing the successive matched surface portions can be generated to provide a surface model of all or part of the scene.
