Abstract
. Co-registration of point clouds of partially scanned objects is the first step of the 3D modeling workflow. The aim of coregistration is to merge the overlapping point clouds by estimating the spatial transformation parameters. In computer vision and photogrammetry domain one of the most popular methods is the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm and its variants. There exist the 3D Least Squares (LS) matching methods as well (Gruen and Akca, 2005). The co-registration methods commonly use the least squares (LS) estimation method in which the unknown transformation parameters of the (floating) search surface is functionally related to the observation of the (fixed) template surface. Here, the stochastic properties of the search surfaces are usually omitted. This omission is expected to be minor and does not disturb the solution vector significantly. However, the a posteriori covariance matrix will be affected by the neglected uncertainty of the function values of the search surface. . This causes deterioration in the realistic precision estimates. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a method where the stochastic properties of both the observations and the parameters are considered under an errors-in-variables (EIV) model. The experiments have been carried out using diverse laser scanning data sets and the results of EIV with the ICP and the conventional LS matching methods have been compared.

An Advanced Outlier Detected Total Least-Squares Algorithm for 3-D Point Clouds Registration

TL;DR: An advanced outlier detected total least-squares (OD-TLS) method is proposed, which performs a seven-parameter 3-D similarity transformation with large rotation angles and arbitrary scale ratio and not only enhances the registration accuracy but also increases its robustness.

A method for registration of 3-D shapes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a general-purpose representation-independent method for the accurate and computationally efficient registration of 3D shapes including free-form curves and surfaces, based on the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, which requires only a procedure to find the closest point on a geometric entity to a given point.

Object modeling by registration of multiple range images

TL;DR: The authors propose an approach that works on range data directly and registers successive views with enough overlapping area to get an accurate transformation between views and performs a functional that does not require point-to-point matches.
