  • Publication number: 20210256740
    Abstract: A method for increasing point cloud sampling density, a point cloud processing system, and a readable storage medium. The method for increasing point cloud sampling density includes operations that performing a projection transformation on a three-dimensional first point cloud based on a given plane to obtain a first planar image, inserting a plurality of pixel points in the blank area based on a pixel point around a blank area in the first planar image to obtain a second planar image, and performing an inverse projection transformation on the second planar image to obtain a reconstructed three-dimensional second point cloud.
