Title
Robust non-rigid point registration based on feature-dependant finite mixture model
Abstract
In previous works on point registration based on finite mixture model, the correspondence probability is often determined by exploiting global relationship in the point set instead of considering the local point distribution. That results in a simplified registration model. In this paper a feature-dependant finite mixture model (FDMM) is proposed. In particular, an improved descriptor is introduced to describe the local feature of a point. Consequently, a priori density function is formulated for the mixture weights. The unknown parameters of FDMM are computed by maximizing a posteriori (MAP) estimation. Moreover, a bidirectional expectation-maximization (EM) process is introduced to update both point sets in contrast to traditional methods. The performance of our method is demonstrated and validated with carefully designed synthetic data and real data, showing that the proposed method can improve the robustness and accuracy as compared to the traditional registration techniques.
