VRNet: Learning the Rectified Virtual Corresponding Points for 3D Point Cloud Registration

3D point cloud registration is fragile to outliers, which are labeled as the points without corresponding points. To handle this problem, a widely adopted strategy is to estimate the relative pose based only on some accurate correspondences, which is achieved by building correspondences on the identified inliers or by selecting reliable ones. However, these approaches are usually complicated and time-consuming. By contrast, the virtual point-based methods learn the virtual corresponding points (VCPs) for all source points uniformly without distinguishing the outliers and the inliers. Although this strategy is time-efficient, the learned VCPs usually exhibit serious collapse degeneration due to insufficient supervision and the inherent distribution limitation. In this paper, we propose to exploit the best of both worlds and present a novel robust 3D point cloud registration framework. We follow the idea of the virtual point-based methods but learn a new type of virtual points called rectified virtual corresponding points (RCPs), which are defined as the point set with the same shape as the source and with the same pose as the target. Hence, a pair of consistent point clouds, i.e. source and RCPs, is formed by rectifying VCPs to RCPs (VRNet), through which reliable correspondences between source and RCPs can be accurately obtained. Since the relative pose between source and RCPs is the same as the relative pose between source and target, the input point clouds can be registered naturally. Specifically, we first construct the initial VCPs by using an estimated soft matching matrix to perform a weighted average on the target points. Then, we design a correction-walk module to learn an offset to rectify VCPs to RCPs, which effectively breaks the distribution limitation of VCPs. Finally, we develop a hybrid loss function to enforce the shape and geometry structure consistency ...
