Spectral Consistency-Guided Multiview Point Cloud Registration for Low-Overlap Scenes

The paper introduces GMPCR, a non‑learning spectral consistency‑guided framework for multiview point cloud registration in low‑overlap scenes. GMPCR refines initial correspondences into a second‑order compatibility structure, uses spectral analysis to filter unreliable matches and select informative scan pairs, and then applies maximal‑clique hypothesis generation for robust relative transformations. The resulting sparse pose graph is further refined with an adaptive history‑aware synchronization scheme, and a recovery mechanism allows previously down‑weighted edges to regain confidence, achieving high registration recalls on benchmark datasets while reducing computational cost.

C3VDReg: A Benchmark for Local-to-Local Colonoscopic Registration toward Anatomical Localization

C3VDReg is a benchmark for local-to-local colonoscopic registration that uses the Colonoscopy 3D Video Dataset (C3VD) to generate 10,015 partial-to-partial point cloud pairs, with 2,088 held‑out test pairs. Each pair consists of a source point cloud from depth reprojection and a target point cloud from CT mesh raycasting, evaluated under a standardized protocol of 8,192 points per cloud and fixed pose conventions. Experiments show that high geometric overlap does not guarantee reliable pose recovery, revealing translation ambiguity along repetitive tubular anatomy as a key failure mode.

TokenMatch: 3D Mesh Correspondence Transformer with Curvature-Guided Tokenisation

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.

DPA-I2P: Depth-Guided Projective Alignment for Image-to-Point-Cloud Registration in Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces DPA-I2P, a depth-guided projective alignment method for image-to-point-cloud registration in autonomous driving. It employs Ray-Conditioned Metric Depth Encoding and Projection-Consistent Vision Lifting to align depth and visual cues geometrically, and uses Cross-Modal Query Pruning to enhance matching stability. Experiments on KITTI and nuScenes show significant reductions in rotation and translation errors compared to existing implicit baselines.
