Free form surface matching using motion consistency

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to evaluate the possible point matches established by the traditional ICP algorithm in the process of matching two overlapping free form surfaces represented as two sets of unorganised points. While the existing methods mainly use feature matching to establish or evaluate possible correspondences between the surfaces to be matched, our novel approach applies motion consistency to evaluate the possible correspondences. In particular, while the existing methods assume that satisfying local structural constraints is a necessary condition for a pair of points to represent a real correspondence, our novel approach proves that satisfying global rigid motion constraints is a sufficient condition. A comparative study based on real images has shown that the proposed algorithm is accurate and robust for the matching of overlapping free form surfaces.

Oceanographic images obtained from environmental satellites by a wide range of sensors allow characterizing natural phenomena through different physical measurements. For instance Sea Surface Temperature (SST) images, altimetry data and ocean color data can be used for characterizing currents and vortex structures in the ocean.

متن کاملIterative point matching for registration of free-form curves
Geometric matching in general is a di cult unsolved problem in computer vision. Fortunately, in many practical applications, some a priori knowledge exists which considerably simpli es the problem. In visual navigation, for example, the motion between successive positions is usually either small or approximately known, but a more precise registration is required for environment modeling. The al...

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...

Automatic range image registration and matching is an attractive but unresolved problem in both the machine vision and pattern recognition literature. Since automatic range image registration and matching is inherently a very difficult problem, the algorithms developed are becoming more and more complicated. In this paper, we propose a novel practical algorithm for automatic free-form surface m...

7 Three-dimensional free form shape matching is a fundamental problem in both the machine vision and pattern recognition literatures. However, the automatic approach to 3D free form shape matching still remains open. In this paper, we propose using 9 k closest points in the second view for the automatic 3D free form shape matching. For the sake of computational efficiency, the optimised k-D tre...
