About ICP registration

Post by mehmetvozdogan »

Hi,

I have some scan data and when i tried to register them with Fine registration (ICP) the RMS error is about 0.012 (final overlap %1 and random sampling imit is 300000) but i need more precise registration. I applied fine registration again with registered data and the RMS error decrease to 0.0072 is that right way for precising the registration.


Briefly;
DATA1 and DATA2 registered with ICP then i applied ICP again between DATA1 and DATA2.registered. And RMS error decreases significantly is this process correct for a high precise registration

Thank you..

1% percent overlap seems very low! Not sure the result is reliable...

Otherwise pay attention that the RMS is only computed on the points selected during the last iteration (points are randomly selected - up to 300000 here - but only inside the closest points defined thanks to the overlap parameter... so there might not be that much points).

Running the algorithm twice can help sometimes (in case ICP is 'stuck' in a local minima). But once again, you'd better have a reliable selection of points to avoid jumping to a wrong solution.

it will also depend on the scanner used. all scanners have inherent error each one is different as you can't say that a single scan has a zero error. even two scans from the same location will unlikely give you a RMS value much better than the scanners error. As Daniel says 1% is very very low for an overlap

Thank you for your answer,

What is the suggested overlap ratio for a reliabe registration (%10 ? )
And what can i do for a better registration?

Thank you

Yes, 10% is the minimum. And if you can increase that (during scanning) that's of course better. You'd better take overlapping parts of the scan that have some geometry and not too flat or smooth areas.
