A statistical framework using random forest weights to improve manifold estimation on high-dimensional point cloud data.
This paper proposes a random forest weighted local manifold estimator designed for high-dimensional point cloud data. It integrates local PCA projections and forest-based adaptive weighting to overcome challenges like curvature variation, noise, and curse of dimensionality. The method constructs data-driven neighborhoods via tree-based splits that maximize local heterogeneity. Theoretical contributions include proofs of pointwise consistency, convergence rates, and asymptotic normality. The approach is motivated by applications in 3D geometry reconstruction, with implications for image processing, 3D modeling, and statistical shape analysis.
