Abstract: Aiming at the problems of low accuracy and low efficiency of traditional point cloud target classification methods, this paper designs a new classification method based on improved random forest algorithm. Bagging is combined with random subspace to form a subset of feature training at random, so that the generalisation ability of random forest algorithm can be increased while the data processing speed can be accelerated to avoid overfitting phenomenon. On the basis of extracting geometric features of coloured point clouds, the optimal feature subset for classification is determined, and then the dense matching point clouds are classified using the improved random forest algorithm. Experimental results show that the classification error rate of this method is less than 1%, the average classification process takes only 83.995 s, and the VIM value is all over 0.1, indicating that this method can effectively improve the classification effect of dense matching point cloud targets.
