Abstract

We show that a simple probabilistic modelling of the registration problem for surfaces allows to solve it by using standard clustering techniques. In this framework, point-to-point correspondences are hypothesized between the two free-form surfaces, and we show how to specify priors and to enforce global constraints on these matches with only minor changes to the optimisation algorithm. The purpose of these two modifications is to increase its capture range and to obtain more realistic geometrical transformations between the surfaces. We conclude with some validation experiments and results on synthetic and real data.
