Affine Iterative Closest Point Algorithm Based on Color Information and Correntropy for Precise Point Set Registration.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel affine iterative closest point algorithm based on color information and correntropy, which can effectively deal with the registration problems with a large number of noise and outliers and small deformations in RGB-D datasets. Firstly, to alleviate the problem of low registration accuracy for data with weak geometric structures, we consider introducing color features into traditional affine algorithms to establish more accurate and reliable correspondences. Secondly, we introduce the correntropy measurement to overcome the influence of a large amount of noise and outliers in the RGB-D datasets, thereby further improving the registration accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed registration algorithm has higher registration accuracy, with error reduction of almost 10 times, and achieves more stable robustness than other advanced algorithms.
