The mobile LiDAR scanning system is a useful tool for getting the top information as well as façade information of buildings, which makes it as primary means to obtain 3D city modeling infrastructure. The first step of 3D modeling is to extract the building data from the complex mobile point cloud data quickly and accurately. Therefore, it is of great significance to study a fast and effective method of building extraction from vehicle laser scanning data. The buildings in mobile laser scanning data has the characteristics of uneven distribution of point densities, lack of existence, and some of the buildings in the measured data are not strictly flat, the top data of the low building is not the façade. In order to solve the problems discussed above, a method of building extraction in complex urban scenes from mobile LiDAR is proposed by using a variety of projection images. Firstly, the method projects the point cloud data into the XOY plane to produce a variety of projected images. Secondly, based on the geometric semantic features of the buildings, the geometric constraints and morphological calculations of the acquired projection images are processed to get the seed area of the building. On the basis of this seed area, the eight-neighborhood region of the building seed area is grown on the highest elevation image by setting the height difference threshold to obtain the building area. Lastly, the building area on the image is back-projected into three-dimensional space to extract the building objectives. Two data sets with different point densities and different scanning tools are used to verify the effectiveness of this method. Results show that this method has higher data processing efficiency than the existing three-dimensional extraction method because point cloud data is projected into the two-dimensional image and the geometrical features of the building are synthetically used in the process of building extraction. Using this method, both top surface and non-façade buildings can be extracted precisely. In this paper, sub-regional growth methods solve the problem that it′s difficult to extract the buildings with incompleteness of cloud data which is caused by the blockage through the traditional projection method.
