Abstract

This paper introduces a surface matching algorithm for 3D registration that uses an alternative 3D Shape Representation: CIRCON (Cylindrical Image of Radial Contours), that both enables the compression of the 3D data, making them more manageable, and facilitates the tasks related to surface matching. By making use of the properties of this 3D shape representation two surfaces whose relative pose is unknown can be aligned. The information obtained by the surface matching process is then used for calculating a coarse transformation (rotation and translation) between both surfaces.
