Robust Rotation Synchronization via Low-rank and Sparse Matrix Decomposition
This paper deals with the rotation synchronization problem, which arises in
global registration of 3D point-sets and in structure from motion. The problem
is formulated in an unprecedented way as a "low-rank and sparse" matrix
decomposition that handles both outliers and missing data. A minimization
strategy, dubbed R-GoDec, is also proposed and evaluated experimentally against
state-of-the-art algorithms on simulated and real data. The results show that
R-GoDec is the fastest among the robust algorithms.Comment: The material contained in this paper is part of a manuscript

A Combinatorial Solution to Non-Rigid 3D Shape-to-Image Matching
We propose a combinatorial solution for the problem of non-rigidly matching a
3D shape to 3D image data. To this end, we model the shape as a triangular mesh
and allow each triangle of this mesh to be rigidly transformed to achieve a
suitable matching to the image. By penalising the distance and the relative
rotation between neighbouring triangles our matching compromises between image
and shape information. In this paper, we resolve two major challenges: Firstly,
we address the resulting large and NP-hard combinatorial problem with a
suitable graph-theoretic approach. Secondly, we propose an efficient
discretisation of the unbounded 6-dimensional Lie group SE(3). To our knowledge
this is the first combinatorial formulation for non-rigid 3D shape-to-image
matching. In contrast to existing local (gradient descent) optimisation
methods, we obtain solutions that do not require a good initialisation and that
are within a bound of the optimal solution. We evaluate the proposed method on
the two problems of non-rigid 3D shape-to-shape and non-rigid 3D shape-to-image
registration and demonstrate that it provides promising results.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Multiple Shape Registration using Constrained Optimal Control
Lagrangian particle formulations of the large deformation diffeomorphic
metric mapping algorithm (LDDMM) only allow for the study of a single shape. In
this paper, we introduce and discuss both a theoretical and practical setting
for the simultaneous study of multiple shapes that are either stitched to one
another or slide along a submanifold. The method is described within the
optimal control formalism, and optimality conditions are given, together with
the equations that are needed to implement augmented Lagrangian methods.
Experimental results are provided for stitched and sliding surfaces
