Point Cloud Registration via Probabilistic Self-Update Local Correspondence and Line Vector Sets

arXiv:2604.26318v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Point cloud registration (PCR) is a fundamental task for integrating 3D observations in remote sensing applications. This paper proposes a fast and effective PCR algorithm utilizing probabilistic self-updating local correspondence and line vector sets. Our dual RANSAC interaction model comprises a global RANSAC evaluating the global correspondence set and a local RANSAC operating on dynamically updated local sets. Initially, these local sets are constructed using angle histogram statistics and line vector length preservation techniques. To improve accuracy, a probabilistic self-updating strategy refines the local sets after each interaction round. To reduce runtime, we introduce a global early termination condition that optimally balances accuracy and efficiency. Finally, a weighted singular value decomposition estimates the registration solution. Evaluations on public datasets demonstrate our algorithm achieves superior time efficiency and at least a 10% root mean square error improvement over state-of-the-art methods.
