摘要

3-D point cloud registration in remote sensing field has been greatly advanced by deep learning-based methods, where the rigid transformation is either directly regressed from the two point clouds (correspondences-free approaches) or computed from the learned correspondences (correspondences-based approaches). Existing correspondence-free methods generally learn the holistic representation of the entire point cloud, which is fragile for partial and noisy point clouds. In this letter, we propose a correspondence-free unsupervised point cloud registration (UPCR) method from the representation separation perspective. First, we model the input point cloud as a combination of pose-invariant representation and pose-related representation. Second, the pose-related representation is used to learn the relative pose w.r.t. a 'latent canonical shape' for the source and target point clouds, respectively. Third, the rigid transformation is obtained from the above two learned relative poses. Our method not only filters out the disturbance in pose-invariant representation but also is robust to partial-to-partial point clouds or noise. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our unsupervised method achieves comparable if not better performance than state-of-the-art supervised registration methods. The source code will be made public.
