First, a special preprocessing algorithm is designed to resolve the problems of noise points, acquisition errors, and large data volume in the actual point cloud model of the bolt. The algorithm uses the point cloud adaptive weighted guided filtering for noise smoothing according to the noise characteristics. Then retaining the key points of the point cloud, this algorithm uses the octree to partition the point cloud and carries out iterative farthest point sampling in each partition for obtaining the standard point cloud model. The standard point cloud model is then subjected to hierarchical multi-scale feature extraction to obtain global features, which are combined with local features through a self-attention mechanism, while linear interpolation is used to further expand the perceptual field of local features of the model as a basis for segmentation, and finally the segmentation is completed. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm could deal with the scattered bolt point cloud well, realize the segmentation of train bolt and background, and could achieve high segmentation accuracy, which has important practical significance for train safety detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23042019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T02:14:11Z","timestamp":1676254451000},"page":"2019","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Scattered Train Bolt Point Cloud Segmentation Based on Hierarchical Multi-Scale Feature Learning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ni","family":"Zeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinlong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaorong","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"35","article-title":"Research, development and prospect of China high-speed train","volume":"53","author":"Ding","year":"2021","journal-title":"Chin.
