Abstract

This paper presents HSM3D, an algorithm for global rigid 6DOF alignment of 3D point clouds. The algorithm works by projecting the two input sets into the Radon/Hough domain, whose properties allow to decompose the 6DOF search into a series of fast one-dimensional cross-correlations. No planes or other particular features must be present in the input data, and the algorithm is provably complete in the case of noise-free input. The algorithm has been experimentally validated on publicly available data sets.
