B-HoD: A Lightweight and Fast Binary Descriptor for 3D Object Recognition and Registration
3D object recognition and registration in computer vision applications has lately drawn much attention as it is capable of superior performance compared to its 2D counterpart. Although a number of high performing solutions do exist, it is still challenging to further reduce processing time and memory requirements to meet the needs of time critical applications. In this paper we propose an extension of the 3D descriptor Histogram of Distances (HoD) into the binary domain named the Binary-HoD (B-HoD). Our binary quantization procedure along with the proposed preprocessing step reduce an order of magnitude both processing time and memory requirements compared to current state of the art 3D descriptors. Evaluation on two popular low quality datasets shows its promising performance
Histogram of distances for local surface description
3D object recognition is proven superior compared to its 2D counterpart with numerous implementations, making it a current research topic. Local based proposals specifically, although being quite accurate, they limit their performance on the stability of their local reference frame or axis (LRF/A) on which the descriptors are defined. Additionally, extra processing time is demanded to estimate the LRF for each local patch. We propose a 3D descriptor which overrides the necessity of a LRF/A reducing dramatically processing time needed. In addition robustness to high levels of noise and non-uniform subsampling is achieved. Our approach, namely Histogram of Distances is based on multiple L2-norm metrics of local patches providing a simple and fast to compute descriptor suitable for time-critical applications. Evaluation on both high and low quality popular point clouds showed its promising performance

3D Automatic Target Recognition for Future LIDAR Missiles
We present a real-time three-dimensional automatic target recognition approach appropriate for future light detection and ranging-based missiles. Our technique extends the speeded-up robust features method into the third dimension by solving multiple two-dimensional problems and performs template matching based on the extreme case of a single pose per target. Evaluation on military targets shows higher recognition rates under various transformations and perturbations at lower processing time compared to state-of-the-art approaches
