Abstract

 

In this paper, a method for the automated registration of two partly-overlapped dense point clouds corresponding to a given object or scene is addressed. The proposed approach has a number of significant advantages, such as the consideration of both geometric and colour data, the automated search for the best suited points for registration (based on their local geometry and colour properties), and the automated estimation of the overlapping region. The proposed approach has been tested on real scanner data and compared with others, showing better performance in terms of accuracy and speed.
