Automatic Point Clouds Registration Method Based on Mesh Segmentation

Abstract:

This paper proposes an automatic point clouds registration method based on High-Speed Mesh Segmentation. The proposed method works fast for doing an initial registration and extracting point clouds region feature. First, the features of the point region are used for matching point cloud regions. Second, matched regions sets are classified for calculating transform matrix of initial registration. Based on the initial registration result the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm which had been used for accuracy registration to composite point cloud pairs will be applied. The proposed registration approach is able to do automatic registration without any assumptions about their initial positions, and avoid the problems of traditional ICP in bad initial estimate. The proposed method plus with ICP algorithm provides an efficient 3D model for computer-aided engineering and computer-aided design.
