Abstract

In this work, we analyze three different registration algorithms: Chamfer distance matching, the well-known iterated closest points (ICP) and an optic flow based registration. Their pairwise combination is investigated in the context of silhouette based pose estimation. It turns out that Chamfer matching and ICP used in combination do not only perform fairly well with small offset, but also deal with large offset significantly better than the other combinations. We show that by applying different optimized search strategies, the computational cost can be reduced by a factor eight. We further demonstrate the robustness of our method against simultaneous translation and rotation.
