非刚性点云配准是软组织形状分析的核心,但大形变、噪声和离群点使对应关系估计困难。现有学习方法多依赖局部距离指标(如Chamfer distance),仅促进点对点接近,却无法约束形变场的全局合理性。本文提出DINE,一种最大后验框架,通过学习位移向量场的统计先验,增强基于距离的配准。DINE采用两阶段策略:先用Chamfer distance训练基础模型(Robust-DefReg或DefTransNet),利用其预测的形变场估计先验,再以距离与负对数先验联合目标进行优化。对比了全域PCA高斯先验与逐向量归一化流先验。在DeformedTissue和SynBench数据集上,均取得更低的平均Chamfer距离。在DeformedTissue上,DINE-PCA相比原模型在不同形变水平下减少27%~69%的Chamfer距离,对离群点和高斯噪声的鲁棒性分别提升66%和83%;在SynBench上,小形变下改善有限,中到重度形变时提升达59%~79%。结果表明,全局形变合理性是可靠配准的关键约束。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Non-rigid point cloud registration is central to soft-tissue shape analysis, but large deformations, noise, and outliers make correspondence estimation challenging. Most learning-based methods rely on local objectives such as Chamfer distance, which encourage point-wise proximity but do not constrain the global plausibility of the predicted deformation field. We address this limitation with DINE, a maximum a posteriori framework that augments distance-based registration with a learned statistical prior over displacement vector fields. DINE is applied to two registration backbones, Robust-DefReg and DefTransNet, using a two-stage strategy: a first-stage model is trained with Chamfer distance, its predicted deformation fields are used to estimate a prior, and the model is then refined with a combined distance and negative log-prior objective. We compare a full-field PCA Gaussian prior with a per-vector normalizing-flow prior. Experiments on DeformedTissue and SynBench show lower mean Chamfer distance under deformation and corruption. On DeformedTissue, DINE-PCA reduces Chamfer distance by approximately 27--69\% relative to the corresponding Stage-1 backbone across deformation levels, and improves robustness by up to 66\% for outliers and 83\% for Gaussian noise. On SynBench, improvements are modest at the smallest deformation levels and reach approximately 59--79\% from moderate to severe deformation. These results suggest that global deformation plausibility is an important constraint for reliable soft-tissue point cloud registration. (The code will be published soon.)
