Point Cloud Registration

Point Cloud Registration is a fundamental problem in 3D computer vision and photogrammetry. Given several sets of points in different coordinate systems, the aim of registration is to find the transformation that best aligns all of them into a common coordinate system. Point Cloud Registration plays a significant role in many vision applications such as 3D model reconstruction, cultural heritage management, landslide monitoring and solar energy analysis.
