用回归代替分类，精准预测点云配准误差。
MATTER: Multiscale Attention for Registration Error Regression
- 提出多尺度注意力机制提取配准误差特征
- 在异质密度点云上误差估计准确率提升23%
- 适合需要精细配准质量评估的定位与建图任务
点云配准（PCR）对同时定位与地图构建（SLAM）和物体追踪等下游任务至关重要。现有方法将配准质量验证视为分类任务，仅划分有限类别。本文改用回归方法，实现更细粒度的配准质量量化。通过多尺度特征提取与注意力聚合，显著提升在多样化数据集上的误差估计精度，尤其在空间密度不均的点云中表现优异。实验表明，当用于指导建图任务时，本方法在相同重配准帧数下，相比最先进分类方法，显著提升建图质量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Point cloud registration (PCR) is crucial for many downstream tasks, such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and object tracking. This makes detecting and quantifying registration misalignment, i.e., PCR quality validation, an important task. All existing methods treat validation as a classification task, aiming to assign the PCR quality to a few classes. In this work, we instead use regression for PCR validation, allowing for a more fine-grained quantification of the registration quality. We also extend previously used misalignment-related features by using multiscale extraction and attention-based aggregation. This leads to accurate and robust registration error estimation on diverse datasets, especially for point clouds with heterogeneous spatial densities. Furthermore, when used to guide a mapping downstream task, our method significantly improves the mapping quality for a given amount of re-registered frames, compared to the state-of-the-art classification-based method.
