Cover Story: This study examines the influence of three key factors—annotator expertise, point cloud density, and sensor type—on the supervised classification of architectural elements, applying the Random Forest (RF) algorithm to datasets related to the typology of Franciscan monastic cloisters. The main innovation lies in the development of an advanced feature selection technique based on statistical analysis and the evaluation of each feature’s p-value in relation to the target classes. This procedure allows for the identification of the optimal radius for each feature, maximizing class separability and reducing semantic ambiguities. The approach, fully implemented in Python, automates feature extraction, selection, and application, enhancing both the semantic consistency and classification accuracy. View this paper
