Integral volume is an important image representation technique, which is useful in many computer vision applications. Processing integral volumes for large scale 3D datasets is challenging due to high memory requirements. The difficulties lie in efficiently computing, storing, querying and updating the integral volume values. In this work, we address the above problems and present a novel solution for processing integral volumes for large scale 3D datasets efficiently. We propose an octree-based method where the worst-case complexity for querying the integral volume of arbitrary regions is \(\mathcal {O}(\log {}n)\), here n is the number of nodes in the octree. We evaluate our proposed method on multi-resolution LiDAR point cloud data. Our work can serve as a tool to fast extract features from large scale 3D datasets, which can be beneficial for computer vision applications.
