A fast reconstruction method of the dense point-cloud model for cultural heritage artifacts based on compressed sensing and sparse auto-encoder

摘要

Since the point cloud data of cultural heritage artifacts obtained by the laser scanner is enormous and dense, these lead to a large quantity of network resource for storing, processing, and transmission. This paper provided a fast reconstruction method of the dense point cloud model for cultural relics based on sparse auto-encoder and compressed sensing. Firstly, the octree method based on the hash function was utilized to extract local features and remove redundant points. Secondly, the point cloud, which can be seen as the 3D geometric signal, is projected to the discrete Laplacian sparse basis via the point cloud adjacency matrix. Then, aiming at the bottleneck of slow recovery caused by tremendous scale of inverse problem based on compressed sensing theory, the sparse auto-encoder was applied to reduce the dimension and speed up the recovery. Finally, the OMP algorithm was applied to reconstruct 3D point cloud model based on the stochastic Gauss matrix. In order to test the performance of our methods, the 3D point cloud model of terracotta warriors and horses head were used. And the experimental results demonstrated that our approach can obviously accelerate the process of reconstruction of the dense point cloud model for the cultural heritage artifacts and ensure the recovery accuracy.
