Abstract:The colored point clouds can be acquired by terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR). The refined texture can be rapidly and automatically generated by colored point clouds. However, these original colored point clouds of different measurement stations have difference in colors which can lead to an unsatisfied display result of generated texture. According to the approximation between color components and spatial coordinate, a dodging based color coordinate conversion method was proposed for dodging the original colored point clouds. The proposed method was verified by experiments and the results show that the color variation of different measurement stations can be modified and a refined texture can be achieved. In addition to terrestrial LiDAR point clouds, this method can be applied to other kinds of terrestrial LiDAR point clouds with colors.
