Abstract

Obtaining a 3D feature description with high descriptiveness and robustness under complicated nuisances is a significant and challenging task in 3D feature matching. This paper proposes a novel feature description consisting of a stable local reference frame (LRF) and a feature descriptor based on local spatial voxels. First, an improved LRF was designed by incorporating distance weights into Z- and X-axis calculations. Subsequently, based on the LRF and voxel segmentation, a feature descriptor based on voxel homogenization was proposed. Moreover, uniform segmentation of cube voxels was performed, considering the eigenvalues of each voxel and its neighboring voxels, thereby enhancing the stability of the description. The performance of the descriptor was strictly tested and evaluated on three public datasets, which exhibited high descriptiveness, robustness, and superior performance compared with other current methods. Furthermore, the descriptor was applied to a 3D registration trial, and the results demonstrated the reliability of our approach.
