In Japan, a substantial amount of point cloud data–a set of data points in space–has been measured and accumulated for public works using mobile mapping systems and terrestrial laser scanners. However, this vast amount of data is of limited use in an unprocessed and unstructured state. Fortunately, it can be structured by automatically extracting a feature using a "plan of completion drawing" that shows the completed geometry of a construction object.
