  • Patent number: 12094153
    Abstract: Provided is a point cloud analysis device that curbs a decrease in model estimation accuracy due to a laser measurement point cloud. A clustering unit (30) clusters a point cloud representing a three-dimensional point on an object obtained by a measurement unit mounted on a moving body and performing measurement while scanning a measurement position, within a scan line, to obtain a point cloud cluster. A central axis direction estimation unit (32) estimates a central axis direction based on the point cloud cluster. A direction-dependent local effective length estimation unit (34) estimates a local effective length based on an estimated central axis direction and an interval of scan lines, the local effective length being a length when a length of projection of the point cloud cluster in a central axis direction for each of the point cloud clusters is interpolated by an amount of a loss part of the point cloud.
