A Robust Statistics Approach for Plane Detection in Unorganized Point Clouds

This is the supplementary material for the paper A Robust Statistics Approach for Plane Detection in Unorganized Point Clouds. We show the results of each technique in all evaluated datasets. We provide two display modes: Wireframe mode and Point mode.

Important: These materials are best viewed in a web browser that is not Internet Explorer (IE), since it cannot resize images properly.

Here, we compare our technique against the following state-of-the-art techniques:
