Abstract

A method extracts planes from three-dimensional (3D) points by first partitioning the 3D points into disjoint regions. A graph of nodes and edges is then constructed, wherein the nodes represent the regions and the edges represent neighborhood relationships of the regions. Finally, agglomerative hierarchical clustering is applied to the graph to merge regions belonging to the same plane.
