Fig. 7: Workflow of point cloud semantic segmentation.

This workflow diagram, created by the authors, outlines the key stages in semantically segmenting the heritage point cloud. Rectangular boxes represent either the input/output data (the raw registered point cloud) or the core processing actions (classification, extraction). Arrows between the boxes explicitly indicate the sequential direction and logical progression of the processing steps. The workflow typically begins with the complete 3D model, proceeds through iterative classification and refinement based on geometric and material features, and results in the extraction of distinct, labeled components such as rammed earth walls, roofs, and decorative elements for targeted analysis.
