Abstract

Based on the classic absolute orientation technique, a new method for least-squares fitting of multiple point sets in m-dimensional space is proposed, analyzed and extended to a weighted form in this paper. This method generates a fixed point set from k corresponding original m-dimensional point sets and minimizes the mean squared error between the fixed point set and these k point sets under the similarity transformation. Experiments and interesting applications are presented to show its efficiency and accuracy.
