The work aims to propose a 3D point cloud feature extraction method combining multi-view depth map projection and sub-pixel edge detection, and support the structural optimization design and safety verification of containers with high-precision geometric feature data, so as to solve the bottleneck problem of insufficient accuracy of 3D deformation measurement in reliability evaluation of radioactive materials transport containers. Firstly, by constructing the minimum bounding cube and designing a six-degree-of-freedom multi-view orthogonal projection system, the three-dimensional point cloud was mapped to a two-dimensional depth map to realize the full surface coverage of the container. Secondly, based on the fitting edge model and local gray area effect, sub-pixel edge points were detected; Furthermore, combining projection parametric mapping with dynamic curvature interpolation algorithm, normal vector continuity constraint and weighted fusion strategy were introduced to reconstruct high-fidelity three-dimensional feature points; Finally, an experimental system was built to obtain the 3D point cloud data of the container, and compared with the existing point cloud feature extraction methods based on simplification rate, registration error and calculation time. The experimental results showed that the maximum average error, the maximum root mean square error and the simplification rate of the feature point cloud obtained by the proposed method were 1.33 mm, 1.39 mm and 1.6%, respectively. Compared with other literature results, the proposed method had a smaller simplification rate, faster calculation time and smaller error. The method proposed in this study effectively solves the contradiction between large-scale point cloud processing and geometric feature fidelity, significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of three-dimensional feature extraction of radioactive containers, and provides reliable technical support for geometric deformation quantitative analysis for nuclear energy engineering safety assessment.
