An Overview of Pairwise Registration
点云配准包括以下步骤:
from a set of points, identify interest points (i.e., keypoints) that best represent the scene in both datasets;
at each keypoint, compute a feature descriptor;
from the set of feature descriptors together with their XYZ positions in the two datasets, estimate a set of correspondences, based on the similarities between features and positions;
given that the data is assumed to be noisy, not all correspondences are valid, so reject those bad correspondences that contribute negatively to the registration process;
from the remaining set of good correspondences, estimate a motion transformation.
针对上述每一个步骤,PCL的registration模块提供了多种算法进行实现 。
Keypoint
诸如 NARF, SIFT and FAST。
Feature descriptors
诸如NARF, FPFH, BRIEF or
