ABSTRACT:
A method for filtering a point cloud is provided. The method includes: (a) acquiring a point cloud of an object from a point cloud obtaining device; (b) establishing a topological structure for the point cloud; (c) selecting a maiden point from the point cloud as a selected point; (d) searching a plurality of points which are near to the selected point from the point cloud according to the topological structure as near points of the selected point; (e) determining whether the selected point is a noise point by comparing coordinate values of the selected point and coordinate values of the near points; (f) deleting or smoothing the noise point from the point cloud; and repeating steps from (c) to (f), until all points in the point cloud have been selected. A related system is also provided.
