Abstract: This paper presents a new method for point cloud simplification. The method searches for a subset of the original point cloud data such that the maximum geometric deviation between the original and simplified data sets is below a specified error bound. The underlying principle of the simplification process is to partition the original data set into piecewise point clusters and represent each cluster by a single point. By iteratively updating the partition and efficiently evaluating the resulting geometric deviations, the proposed method is able to yield a simplified point cloud that satisfies the error bound constraint and contains near minimum number of data points.
