Abstract
A method of extracting a feature from a point cloud comprises receiving a three-dimensional (3-D) point cloud representing objects in a scene, the 3-D point cloud containing a plurality of data points; generating a plurality of hypothetical features based on data points in the 3-D point cloud, wherein the data points corresponding to each hypothetical feature are inlier data points for the respective hypothetical feature; and selecting the hypothetical feature having the most inlier data points as representative of an object in the scene.
