GrounDiff: Diffusion-Based Ground Surface Generation from Digital Surface Models

  • 将去除非地面结构转化为去噪任务,结合置信度引导的门控设计。
  • 在ALS2DTM数据集上RMSE降低93%,道路重建距离误差降低81%。
  • 无需专门优化即可实现高精度与平滑表面,适合大范围地形建模。

数字地形模型(DTMs)表示裸露地面高程,在众多地理空间应用中至关重要。此类数据无法直接由传感器测量,通常需从激光雷达或摄影测量获取的数字地表模型(DSMs)生成。传统滤波方法依赖手动调参,学习型方法则需精心设计架构并常配合后处理。为此,我们提出首个基于扩散模型的框架GrounDiff,通过将问题建模为去噪任务,迭代移除非地面结构。引入置信度引导的门控设计,实现选择性过滤。为提升可扩展性,进一步提出先验引导拼接(PrioStitch),利用GrounDiff自动生成的下采样全局先验指导局部高分辨率预测。我们在多个数据集上评估了从DSM到DTM的转换任务,结果表明GrounDiff持续优于现有深度学习方法,在ALS2DTM上RMSE降低达93%,在USGS基准上降低47%。在道路重建任务中,该方法在GeRoD基准上相比专用技术距离误差降低81%,仅使用DSM输入即保持良好表面平滑性,无需任务特化优化。其道路重建变体GrounDiff+专为生成更平滑表面设计,进一步超越当前最优方法。项目页面见https://deepscenario.github.io/GrounDiff/。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) represent the bare-earth elevation and are important in numerous geospatial applications. Such data models cannot be directly measured by sensors and are typically generated from Digital Surface Models (DSMs) derived from LiDAR or photogrammetry. Traditional filtering approaches rely on manually tuned parameters, while learning-based methods require well-designed architectures, often combined with post-processing. To address these challenges, we introduce Ground Diffusion (GrounDiff), the first diffusion-based framework that iteratively removes non-ground structures by formulating the problem as a denoising task. We incorporate a gated design with confidence-guided generation that enables selective filtering. To increase scalability, we further propose Prior-Guided Stitching (PrioStitch), which employs a downsampled global prior automatically generated using GrounDiff to guide local high-resolution predictions. We evaluate our method on the DSM-to-DTM translation task across diverse datasets, showing that GrounDiff consistently outperforms deep learning-based state-of-the-art methods, reducing RMSE by up to 93% on ALS2DTM and up to 47% on USGS benchmarks. In the task of road reconstruction, which requires both high precision and smoothness, our method achieves up to 81% lower distance error compared to specialized techniques on the GeRoD benchmark, while maintaining competitive surface smoothness using only DSM inputs, without task-specific optimization. Our variant for road reconstruction, GrounDiff+, is specifically designed to produce even smoother surfaces, further surpassing state-of-the-art methods.
