We introduce a circle rolling method (CRM) for boundary extraction from 2D point clouds. The core idea is to create a circle that performs pure rolling on the perimeter of the point cloud to obtain the boundary. For a 3D point cloud, a plane adsorbs points on both sides to create a 2D point cloud, and the CRM is used to extract the boundary points and map them back into space to obtain 3D boundary points. Continuously moving this plane can obtain a complete boundary, which is called the moving adsorption rolling method (MARM). In this paper, we solve the interference problems in our method caused by unidirectional overlapping points and porous structures and successfully validate the solutions in practical examples. Our point cloud boundary extraction method is faster in 2D and better for surface concavities extracted in 3D compared to existing methods, and it is unaffected by sparse points within the point cloud.

Accurate 6D object pose estimation is critical for autonomous docking. To address the inefficiencies and inaccuracies associated with maximal cliques-based pose estimation methods, we propose a fast 6D pose estimation algorithm that integrates feature space and space compatibility constraints. The algorithm reduces the graph size by employing Laplacian filtering to resample high-frequency signal nodes.

Roadside tree segmentation and parameter extraction play an essential role in completing the virtual simulation of road scenes. Point cloud data of roadside trees collected by LiDAR provide important data support for achieving assisted autonomous driving. Due to the interference from trees and other ground objects in street scenes caused by mobile laser scanning, there may be a small number of missing points in the roadside tree point cloud, which makes it familiar for under-segmentation and over-segmentation phenomena to occur in the roadside tree segmentation process.
