AI3D-373 Q4 — what from_ground actually changes

28 Aug 2026 · segment 085 (A1B0) · diff render: only the points whose class differs between A and B are coloured; everything else is the grey photo

A = vegetation_from_ground=true (green “tablecloth” ground may become low/medium vegetation). B = falsecurrent default, your pick. The earlier gallery showed A and B side by side; this page shows only the difference: coloured points are what A adds on top of B.

Whole segment at full res: A moves ~416 k points out of ground → 390 k low_vegetation + 36 k medium_vegetation (2.6 % of the cloud). Tree, asphalt, lines, guardrail are byte-identical in both.

What the coloured points are, by eye

So the question reduces to: should grass that the ground fitter already claimed be delivered as LAS 3 (low_vegetation) or LAS 2 (ground)? Both are defensible; A = “vegetation-complete”, B = “ground-surface-complete”. Sticking with B unless you say otherwise.

Overview 60 × 60 m

overview_top.png
Top-down 0.05 m/px, 696830–696890 × 5387580–5387640. Left RGB, right diff. Solid yellow-green = grass verge and the strip between carriageways; teal fringe = taller scrub rim. 201 k changed of 7.6 M.

Verge behind the guardrail (the Q2 spot)

verge_scrub_az045.png
Oblique az 45°, elev 20°, R 10 m. Changed = the whole grass bank up to ~0.7 m; grey behind it = scrub/tree that B already had.
verge_scrub_rgb_eye.png
Same spot, RGB only, eye level (elev 8°), saturated 1.3×: grass, bushes, a delineator post.

Boundary spot edge02

edge02_az045.png
Oblique az 45°, elev 20°, R 8 m. Near half a dense green carpet on bright grass; far half speckle on dry straw grass.
edge02_eye_az045.png
Eye level (elev 8°): the changed carpet is ~0.1–0.4 m thick and lies on the ground — grass, not gravel.
edge02_rgb_eye.png
RGB only, eye level, saturated: green mat foreground → dry straw background.

Median

median_az135.png
az 135°, elev 40°, R 10 m. 30 k changed points, all thin speckle at the guardrail base and the shoulder joint; zero ground→medium. The median grass ribbon is lost to guardrail/vehicle in both A and B.
