A Hole Repairing Method Based on Edge-Preserving Projection

A point cloud hole repairing method based on edge-preserving projection is proposed in order to maintain sharp features of holes. First, the hole boundary points are acquired by quadrants and angles, then connections among 3D hole boundary points are projected onto the two-dimensional plane using the edge-preserving projection. Secondly, the two-dimensional region obtained from projection is subjected to point collectivization for obtaining filling points, at the same time, the radial-basis interpolation mapping technique is used to construct the hole surface according to the 3D hole boundary point. Finally, the two-dimensional filling points are reflected onto the surface of the constructed hole to complete hole repairing. Experimental results show that our method can effectively repair the hole of the point cloud and restore the sharp features of the hole.
