Free-Form Surface Registration using Surface Signatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a new free-form surface representation scheme for the purpose of fast and accurate registration and matching. Accurate registration of surfaces is a common task in computer vision. The proposed representation scheme captures the surface curvature information, seen from certain points and produces images, called surface signatures, at these points. Matching signatures of di erent surfaces enables the recovery of the transformation parameters between these surfaces. We propose to use template matching to compare the signature images. To enable partial matching, another criterion, the overlap ratio, is used. This representation scheme can be used as a global representation of the surface as well as a local one and performs near real-time registration. We show that the signature representation can be used to match objects in 3-D scenes in the presence of clutter and occlusion. Applications presented include free-form object matching, multimodal medical volumes registration and dental teeth reconstruction from intra-oral

Surfacing Signatures: An Orientation Independent Free-Form Surface Representation Scheme for the Purpose of Objects Registration and Matching
ÐThis paper introduces a new free-form surface representation scheme for the purpose of fast and accurate registration and matching. Accurate registration of surfaces is a common task in computer vision. The proposed representation scheme captures the surface curvature information (seen from certain points) and produces images, called asurface signatures,o at these points. Matching signatures o...
متن کاملFast Free-form Surface Registration by A New Genetic Algorithm
Robust and fast free-form surface registration can find applications in various areas such as object recognition and 3D model reconstruction. Given range images taken from different views of an object, the object model can be constructed, in principle by surface registration and integration of these images if an accurate, robust and fast solution for surface registration algorithm is available....
متن کاملCombining Features and Intensity for Wide-Baseline Non-Rigid Surface Registration
Non-rigid surface registration consists in estimating the deformation of a known flat surface, usually by fitting a warp such as a Thin-Plate Spline or a Free-Form Deformation. Common techniques are split in two categories: (1) pixel-based surface tracking where important deformations can be estimated over a video sequence as long as the frame to frame steps are small and (2) wide-baseline feat...
متن کاملFree Form Deformations Guided by Gradient Vector Flow: A Surface Registration Method in Thoracic and Abdominal PET-CT Applications
A nonlinear surface registration algorithm of thoracic/abdominal structures segmented from CT and PET volumes is presented. The aim of this work is to develop a method that can provide an initial estimate of the elastic deformation between the images, so that MI-based techniques can be successfully applied. To perform the matching, a Bspline Free Form Deformation (FFD) model has been chosen. Hi...
متن کاملClustered Signatures for Modeling and Recognizing 3D Rigid Objects
This paper describes a probabilistic method for three-dimensional object recognition using a shared pool of surface signatures. This technique uses flatness, orientation, and convexity signatures that encode the surface of a free-form object into three discriminative vectors, and then creates a shared pool of data by clustering the signatures using a distance function. This method applies the B...
