Ground Segmentation Algorithm of Lidar Point Cloud Based on Ray-Ransac

Aiming at the problems of poor segmentation effect, low efficiency and poor robustness of the Ransac ground segmentation algorithm, this paper proposes a radar segmentation algorithm based on Ray-Ransac. This algorithm combines the structural characteristics of three-dimensional lidar and uses ray segmentation to generate the original seed point set. The random sampling of Ransac algorithm is limited to the original seed point set, which reduces the probability that Ransac algorithm extracts outliers and reduces the calculation. The Ransac algorithm is used to modify the ground model parameters so that the algorithm can adapt to the undulating roads. The standard deviation of the distance from the point to the plane model is used as the distance threshold, and the allowable error range of the actual point cloud data is considered to effectively eliminate the abnormal points and error points. The algorithm was tested on the simulation platform and the test vehicle. The experimental results show that the lidar point cloud ground segmentation algorithm proposed in this paper takes an average of 5.784 milliseconds per frame, which has fast speed and good precision. It can adapt to uneven road surface and has high robustness.
