This unique work presents a detailed review of the processing and analysis of 3D point clouds. Topics and features: reviews techniques for the acquisition of 3D point cloud data and for point quality assessment;
“The book … is complete summary for understanding the reconstruction of 3D scenes through the use of point clouds. … The ‘book describes the theoretical background, and compares the performance of the proposed approaches to that of current state-of-the- art techniques.’ This book is highly useful to those unfamiliar with laser scanner data gathering including Lidar and would serve as a good first choice to educators teaching about these technologies and processing applications.” (Jeff Thurston, 3D Visualization World Magazine, 3dvisworld.com, October, 2016)
