SHReg: Strictly Rotation-Equivariant Point Cloud Registration via Spherical Harmonics

- 基于球谐函数构建旋转等变特征表示,无需依赖局部参考系。
- 在3DMatch、3DLoMatch和KITTI上均优于现有方法,大旋转下表现更优。
- 适合需要高精度旋转鲁棒性的点云配准场景。
点云配准依赖于在任意三维旋转下仍具区分性与鲁棒性的局部特征。现有学习方法通常通过脆弱的局部参考系或大量数据增强近似实现旋转不变性,仅提供经验性不变性,且在未见旋转变换下性能下降。本文提出SHReg,一种基于SO(3)表示理论的严格旋转等变点云配准框架。通过将局部几何特征表示为SO(3)的不可约表示,SHReg在任意旋转下保证精确等变性,无需依赖局部参考系。基于球谐函数的等变主干网络,联合学习旋转不变描述子以实现稳健对应匹配,以及保留精细方向信息的旋转等变特征。保留的等变结构使每个对应可直接推断刚性变换,减少传统RANSAC流水线中大规模假设采样,提升在极端旋转变化下的鲁棒性。在3DMatch、3DLoMatch和KITTI上的大量实验表明,SHReg在注册精度上持续优于当前最优方法,尤其在大旋转扰动下表现突出。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Point cloud registration critically depends on local features that are both distinctive and robust to arbitrary 3D rotations. Existing learning-based methods typically approximate rotation invariance via fragile local reference frames or extensive data augmentation, providing only empirical invariance and often degrading under unseen rotational transformations. In this paper, we propose SHReg, a strictly rotation-equivariant point cloud registration framework grounded in the representation theory of $SO(3)$. By representing local geometric features as irreducible representations of $SO(3)$, SHReg guarantees exact equivariance under arbitrary rotations without relying on local reference frames. Built upon a spherical-harmonics-based equivariant backbone, SHReg jointly learns rotation-invariant descriptors for robust correspondence matching and rotation-equivariant features that preserve fine-grained orientation information. The preserved equivariant structure enables each correspondence to directly hypothesize a rigid transformation, reducing reliance on large-scale hypothesis sampling in conventional RANSAC-based pipelines and leading to improved robustness under challenging rotational variations. Extensive experiments on 3DMatch, 3DLoMatch, and KITTI demonstrate that SHReg consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in registration accuracy, particularly under large rotational perturbations.
