摘要

This article presents an efficient and robust estimator called compatibility-guided sampling consensus (CG-SAC) to achieve accurate 3-D point cloud registration. For correspondence-based registration methods, the random sample consensus (RANSAC) is served as a de facto solution for rigid transformation estimation from a number of feature correspondences. Unfortunately, RANSAC still suffers from two major limitations. First, it generates a hypothesis with at least three samples and desires a very large number of iterations to attain reasonable results, making it relatively time consuming. Second, the randomness during sampling can result in inaccurate results as it is highly potential to miss the optimal hypothesis. To solve these problems, we propose a compatibility-guided sampling strategy to eliminate randomness during sampling. In particular, only two correspondences are required by our method for hypothesis generation. We then rank correspondence pairs according to their compatibility scores because compatible correspondences are more likely to be correct and can yield more reasonable hypotheses. In addition, we propose a new geometric constraint named the distance between salient points (DSP) to measure the compatibility of two correspondences. Experiments on a set of real-world point cloud data with different application contexts and data modalities confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. Comparison with several state-of-the-art estimators demonstrates the overall superiority of our CG-SAC estimator with regards to precision and time efficiency.
