Combined Filtering Method for Offshore Oil and Gas Platform Point Cloud Data Based on KNN_PCF and Hy_WHF and Its Application in 3D Reconstruction

With the increasing scale of deep-sea oil exploration and drilling platforms, the assessment, maintenance, and optimization of marine structures have become crucial. Traditional detection and manual measurement methods are inadequate for meeting these demands, but three-dimensional laser scanning technology offers a promising solution. However, the complexity of the marine environment, including waves and wind, often leads to problematic point cloud data characterized by noise points and redundancy. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a method that combines K-Nearest-Neighborhood filtering with a hyperbolic function-based weighted hybrid filtering. The experimental results demonstrate the exceptional performance of the algorithm in processing point cloud data from offshore oil and gas platforms. The method improves noise point filtering efficiency by approximately 11% and decreases the total error by 0.6 percentage points compared to existing technologies. Not only does this method accurately process anomalies in high-density areas—it also removes noise while preserving important details. Furthermore, the research method presented in this paper is particularly suited for processing large point cloud data in complex marine environments. It enhances data accuracy and optimizes the three-dimensional reconstruction of offshore oil and gas platforms, providing reliable dimensional information for land-based prefabrication of these platforms.
