Iterative Distance-Aware Similarity Matrix Convolution with Mutual-Supervised Point Elimination for Efficient Point Cloud Registration
Jiahao Li, Changhao Zhang, Ziyao Xu, Hangning Zhou, Chi Zhang
In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based pipeline for partially overlapping 3D point cloud registration. The proposed model includes an iterative distance-aware similarity matrix convolution module to incorporate information from both the feature and Euclidean space into the pairwise point matching process. These convolution layers learn to match points based on joint information of the entire geometric features and Euclidean offset for each point pair, overcoming the disadvantage of matching by simply taking the inner product of feature vectors. Furthermore, a two-stage learnable point elimination technique is presented to improve computational efficiency and reduce false positive correspondence pairs. A novel mutual-supervision loss is proposed to train the model without extra annotations of keypoints. The pipeline can be easily integrated with both traditional (e.g. FPFH) and learning-based features. Experiments on partially overlapping and noisy point cloud registration show that our method outperforms the current state-of-the-art, while being more computationally efficient.
