Abstract: Although the development of high-resolution remote sensing satellite technology has made it possible to reconstruct the 3D structure of object-level features using satellite imagery, the results from a single reconstruction are often insufficient to comprehensively describe the 3D structure of the target. Therefore, developing an effective 3D point cloud fusion method can fully utilize information from multiple observations to improve the accuracy of 3D reconstruction. To this end, this paper addresses the problems of shape distortion and sparse point cloud density in existing 3D point cloud fusion methods by proposing a 3D point cloud fusion method based on Earth mover's distance (EMD) auto-evolution and local parameterization network. Our method is divided into two stages. In the first stage, EMD is introduced as a key metric for evaluating the fusion results, and a point cloud fusion method based on EMD auto-evolution is constructed. The method uses an alternating iterative technique to sequentially update the variables and produce an initial fusion result. The second stage focuses on point cloud optimization by constructing a local parameterization network for the point cloud, mapping the upsampled point cloud in the 2D parameter domain back to the 3D space to complete the optimization. Through these two steps, the method achieves the fusion of two sets of non-uniform point cloud data obtained from satellite stereo images into a single, denser 3D point cloud that more closely resembles the true target shape. Experimental results demonstrate that our fusion method outperforms other classical comparison algorithms for targets such as buildings, planes, and ships, and achieves a fused RMSE of approximately 2 m and an EMD accuracy better than 0.5.
