Abstract

We apply a fast segmenter to planar range images. By segmenting normal vectors of estimated planes in a quadtree, we can analyze very noisy data at high tree levels and guarantee interactivity in visualizing underlying 3D scenes. Techniques to enhance data at the original spatial resolution are given. Results on the ABW range dataset are better than those of several other segmenters.
