Abstract

Depending on the displacement and orientation between point clouds, the registration of scattered point clouds is offten divided into two steps: crude and fine alignment. An approach of point cloud classification based on point feature histogram was proposed in this paper. We propose a method of establishing the point feature histograms to match feature points in different clouds. To reject the outliers, Random Sample Consensus algorithm is used. The rigid transformation matrix in crude alignment is then computed by Singular Value Decomposition method. The golden standard for fine alignment is the Iterative Closest Point algorithm and its variants. In this paper we apply a dynamic constraint of distance to improve the traditional algorithm. The experiment shows that our process of registration works fine with higher accuracy and efficiency.
