A Depth-Based Weighted Point Cloud Registration for Indoor Scene

Sensors (Basel). 2018 Oct 24;18(11):3608. doi: 10.3390/s18113608.

Abstract

Point cloud registration plays a key role in three-dimensional scene reconstruction, and determines the effect of reconstruction. The iterative closest point algorithm is widely used for point cloud registration. To improve the accuracy of point cloud registration and the convergence speed of registration error, point pairs with smaller Euclidean distances are used as the points to be registered, and the depth measurement error model and weight function are analyzed. The measurement error is taken into account in the registration process. The experimental results of different indoor scenes demonstrate that the proposed method effectively improves the registration accuracy and the convergence speed of registration error.
