Points are grouped from a point cloud using Concavity-induced Distance (CID). First, a set of seed points is sampled from the input point cloud. Then a grouping of points is conducted based on a nearest neighbor search computed using CID. These two steps enable two novel solutions in point cloud segmentation and scene abstraction. In one embodiment, CID is determined between two points residing within an object surface. In a second embodiment, a CID is determined between groups of points.
