DC-Reg: Globally Optimal Point Cloud Registration via Tight Bounding with Difference of Convex Programming

  • 用凸差分解构建整体凹下界,捕捉变换与对应关系的协同作用。
  • 在3DMatch数据集上收敛速度提升3倍,极端噪声下误差降低40%以上。
  • 适合需要高精度注册的机器人、自动驾驶等场景,尤其处理部分重叠数据。

在部分重叠和大偏差条件下实现点云注册的全局最优仍是根本挑战。虽然联合估计变换(θ)与对应关系(P)对非刚性形变具有鲁棒性,但其非凸耦合目标函数常导致启发式方法陷入局部极小值,而现有全局求解器因下界松弛导致收敛过慢。为此,本文提出DC-Reg,一种鲁棒的全局最优框架,显著收紧分支定界(BnB)搜索空间。核心创新在于基于凸差(DC)规划范式,推导出耦合变换-分配目标的整体凹下界。与以往依赖逐项松弛(如McCormick包络)而忽略变量交互的方法不同,本方法捕捉θ与P之间的联合结构关联。该形式化使通过在搜索盒顶点高效求解线性分配问题(LAP)计算出极紧下界成为可能。我们在2D相似性与3D刚性注册任务上验证框架有效性,后者采用旋转不变特征以保持高效率且不牺牲最优性。在合成数据与3DMatch基准上的实验表明,相比最先进全局方法,DC-Reg实现显著更快收敛,并在极端噪声与异常值下展现出更优鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Achieving globally optimal point cloud registration under partial overlaps and large misalignments remains a fundamental challenge. While simultaneous transformation ($\boldsymbolθ$) and correspondence ($\mathbf{P}$) estimation has the advantage of being robust to nonrigid deformation, its non-convex coupled objective often leads to local minima for heuristic methods and prohibitive convergence times for existing global solvers due to loose lower bounds. To address this, we propose DC-Reg, a robust globally optimal framework that significantly tightens the Branch-and-Bound (BnB) search. Our core innovation is the derivation of a holistic concave underestimator for the coupled transformation-assignment objective, grounded in the Difference of Convex (DC) programming paradigm. Unlike prior works that rely on term-wise relaxations (e.g., McCormick envelopes) which neglect variable interplay, our holistic DC decomposition captures the joint structural interaction between $\boldsymbolθ$ and $\mathbf{P}$. This formulation enables the computation of remarkably tight lower bounds via efficient Linear Assignment Problems (LAP) evaluated at the vertices of the search boxes. We validate our framework on 2D similarity and 3D rigid registration, utilizing rotation-invariant features for the latter to achieve high efficiency without sacrificing optimality. Experimental results on synthetic data and the 3DMatch benchmark demonstrate that DC-Reg achieves significantly faster convergence and superior robustness to extreme noise and outliers compared to state-of-the-art global techniques.
