Dr. Anh-Vu Vo’s 2015 paper “Octree-based region growing for point cloud segmentation” is one of ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing’s most highly cited papers since 2015. The paper has been cited in 82 publications, according to Scopus.
Dr. Vo’s paper introduces a novel, region-growing algorithm for the fast surface patch segmentation of three-dimensional point clouds of urban environments, which proved to be at least an order of magnitude faster when compared to a conventional region growing method and able to incorporate semantic-based feature criteria, while achieving precision, recall, and fitness scores of at least 75% and as much as 95%.
