Robust Non-Rigid Registration with Reweighted Position and Transformation Sparsity
Non-rigid registration is challenging because it is ill-posed with high
degrees of freedom and is thus sensitive to noise and outliers. We propose a
robust non-rigid registration method using reweighted sparsities on position
and transformation to estimate the deformations between 3-D shapes. We
formulate the energy function with position and transformation sparsity on both
the data term and the smoothness term, and define the smoothness constraint
using local rigidity. The double sparsity based non-rigid registration model is
enhanced with a reweighting scheme, and solved by transferring the model into
four alternately-optimized subproblems which have exact solutions and
guaranteed convergence. Experimental results on both public datasets and real
scanned datasets show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods
and is more robust to noise and outliers than conventional non-rigid
registration methods.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphic
Deep Functional Maps: Structured Prediction for Dense Shape Correspondence
We introduce a new framework for learning dense correspondence between
deformable 3D shapes. Existing learning based approaches model shape
correspondence as a labelling problem, where each point of a query shape
receives a label identifying a point on some reference domain; the
correspondence is then constructed a posteriori by composing the label
predictions of two input shapes. We propose a paradigm shift and design a
structured prediction model in the space of functional maps, linear operators
that provide a compact representation of the correspondence. We model the
learning process via a deep residual network which takes dense descriptor
fields defined on two shapes as input, and outputs a soft map between the two
given objects. The resulting correspondence is shown to be accurate on several
challenging benchmarks comprising multiple categories, synthetic models, real
scans with acquisition artifacts, topological noise, and partiality.Comment: Accepted for publication at ICCV 201
Non-Rigid Puzzles
Shape correspondence is a fundamental problem in computer graphics and vision, with applications in various problems including animation, texture mapping, robotic vision, medical imaging, archaeology and many more. In settings where the shapes are allowed to undergo non-rigid deformations and only partial views are available, the problem becomes very challenging. To this end, we present a non-rigid multi-part shape matching algorithm. We assume to be given a reference shape and its multiple parts undergoing a non-rigid deformation. Each of these query parts can be additionally contaminated by clutter, may overlap with other parts, and there might be missing parts or redundant ones. Our method simultaneously solves for the segmentation of the reference model, and for a dense correspondence to (subsets of) the parts. Experimental results on synthetic as well as real scans demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in dealing with this challenging matching scenario
Learning shape correspondence with anisotropic convolutional neural networks
Establishing correspondence between shapes is a fundamental problem in
geometry processing, arising in a wide variety of applications. The problem is
especially difficult in the setting of non-isometric deformations, as well as
in the presence of topological noise and missing parts, mainly due to the
limited capability to model such deformations axiomatically. Several recent
works showed that invariance to complex shape transformations can be learned
from examples. In this paper, we introduce an intrinsic convolutional neural
network architecture based on anisotropic diffusion kernels, which we term
Anisotropic Convolutional Neural Network (ACNN). In our construction, we
generalize convolutions to non-Euclidean domains by constructing a set of
oriented anisotropic diffusion kernels, creating in this way a local intrinsic
polar representation of the data (`patch'), which is then correlated with a
filter. Several cascades of such filters, linear, and non-linear operators are
stacked to form a deep neural network whose parameters are learned by
minimizing a task-specific cost. We use ACNNs to effectively learn intrinsic
dense correspondences between deformable shapes in very challenging settings,
achieving state-of-the-art results on some of the most difficult recent
correspondence benchmarks
