Sparse Wires, Robust Models: Density-Robust Segmentation of Poles and Wires from Open Aerial LiDAR

Rishabh Jain, Anuja Saini, Vishal Jain

Can free, sparse public LiDAR be made good enough to find poles and wires?

  • arXiv link coming soon

Free public LiDAR covers most of the US, but at 2 to 12 points per m² a wire is a handful of scattered points and segmentation collapses. This paper goes after that one step: telling pole and wire points from everything else when there are barely any.

Three tiles of aerial LiDAR with poles and wires segmented Poles (yellow) and wires (magenta) picked out of sparse open LiDAR, across three tiles.

Abstract and arXiv link after review.
