Registration of Range Images Based on Segmented Data

Abstract

We present a new method for registration of range images, which is based on the results we obtain from the segmentation process. To obtain the first set of points needed for registration, we use set of points from first range image. The novelty is how we obtain the second set of points. To obtain the second set we project the first set of points onto geometric parametric models obtained in the second range image. Then we compute the transformation between the two sets of points. The results have shown a significant improvement in precision of the registration in comparison with traditional approach.
