We present a novel differential matching algorithm for 3D point cloud registration. Instead of only optimizing the feature extractor for a matching algorithm, we propose a learning-based matching module optimized to the jointly-trained feature extractor. We focused on edge-wise feature-forwarding architectures, which are memory-consuming but can avoid the over-smoothing effect that GNNs suffer. We improve its memory efficiency to scale it for point cloud registration while investigating the best way of connecting it to the feature extractor. Experimental results show our matching module's significant impact on performance improvement in rigid/non-rigid and whole/partial point cloud registration datasets with multiple contemporary feature extractors. For example, our module boosted the current SOTA method, RoITr, by +5.4%, and +7.2% in the NFMR metric and +6.1% and +8.5% in the IR metric on the 4DMatch and 4DLoMatch datasets, respectively.
