Paper Description extracted from PDF · abstract · 141 words

Accurate and reliable extraction of building footprints from LiDAR point clouds is a fundamental task in remote sensing and urban scene reconstruction. Building footprints serve as essential geospatial products that support GIS database updating, land-use monitoring, disaster management, and digital twin development. Traditional image-based methods enable large-scale mapping but suffer from 2D perspective limitations and radiometric distortions, while airborne or vehicle-borne LiDAR systems often face single-viewpoint constraints that lead to incomplete or fragmented footprints. Recently, backpack mobile laser scanning (MLS) has emerged as a flexible platform for capturing dense urban geometry at the pedestrian level. However, the high noise, point sparsity, and structural complexity of MLS data make reliable footprints delineation particularly challenging. To address these issues, this study proposes a Deep Line-Segment Detection–Driven Building Footprints Extraction Framework that integrates multi-layer accumulated occupancy mapping, deep geometric feature learning, and structure-aware regularization.
