Hierarchical 2-D/3-D Object-Based Classification of Photogrammetric Textured Mesh Models by Zhongwen Hu, Jinhua Zhang, Zhigang Liu, Yinghui Zhang, Jingzhe Wang, Qian Zhang, Guofeng Wu

“…Although 3-D TMM provides more features than 2-D images, current classification methods have not fully utilized these features, particularly the stereoscopic hierarchical structure of different objects. To address this issue, we propose a hierarchical object-based method for the classification of TMMs, consisting of three key steps: 1) the TMM is first hierarchically segmented into ground surface meshes and off-ground 3-D objects using a cloth-simulated filtering algorithm; 2) the ground surface mesh is projected to 2-D ortho-image, where object-based image classification is used to classify pixels. …”
