Abstract
The present disclosure provides an apparatus and method for evaluate the quality of a three dimensional (3D) point cloud. The apparatus comprises an image segmenter to generate a segmented two-dimensional (2D) image for each of the plurality of images; a 2D mask generator to generate a 2D mask for each of the plurality of images from the 3D point cloud; a comparator to compare the segmented 2D image with the 2D mask to obtain a comparison result for each image; and an evaluator to evaluate the quality of the 3D point cloud based on aggregated comparison results for the plurality of images.

An apparatus for evaluating a three dimensional (3D) point cloud for a scene comprising objects, the 3D point cloud being created from a plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras, the apparatus comprising:
- an image segmenter to generate a segmented two dimensional (2D) image for each of the plurality of images;
- a 2D mask generator to generate a 2D mask for each of the plurality of images from the 3D point cloud;
- a comparator to compare the segmented 2D image with the 2D mask to obtain a comparison result for each image;
- and
- an evaluator to evaluate the 3D point cloud based on aggregated comparison results for the plurality of images.
