Title
Depth Buffer Based Registration of Free-Form Surfaces
Abstract
Many algorithms have to deal with multiple rep- resentations of the same object. The process of aligning these representations is called registra- tion. In this paper we present a new approach for the registration of free-form surfaces which is not based on finding closest points. Instead, our algorithm takes advantage of the graphics hard- ware and uses the depth buffer for determining the distance between the surfaces. We show the efficienc y of our approach in several examples in two different application areas, the registration of range images from the same object and the nominal value comparison for spherical lenses.
