Exclusion Zone
The section of the scene enclosed by the exclusion zone will be permanently ignored by all other processing steps.
Application
Example applications for an exclusion zone:
- Static structures
-
Ceilings, suspension roofs, walls or other static parts of the scene can lead to static offsets when they are contained in a volume zone.
- Vegetation
-
Vegetation can cause false detection of objects or result in unwanted measurement noise. This can happen when trees move in the wind or grass grows over time.
Slow moving processes (e.g. growing in vegetation or general deterioration) should be compensated by applying the dynamic motion detection.
Algorithm
An exclusion zone removes all enclosed points from the input data resulting in a filtered point cloud. Further processing steps (e.g. object tracking) or other zones (e.g. point-based security zone or volume zones) will only see the filtered point cloud.
