PointNetLK: Point Cloud Registration using PointNet

Video

Source Code Author: Yasuhiro Aoki

Requires:

• PyTorch 0.4.0 (perhaps, 0.4.1 (the latest) will be OK.) and torchvision
• NumPy
• SciPy
• MatPlotLib
• ModelNet40

Main files for experiments:

• train_classifier.py: train PointNet classifier (used for transfer learning)
• train_pointlk.py: train PointNet-LK
• generate_rotation.py: generate 6-dim perturbations (rotation and translation) (for testing)
• test_pointlk.py: test PointNet-LK
• test_icp.py: test ICP
• result_stat.py: compute mean errors of above tests

Examples (Bash shell scripts):

• ex1_train.sh: train PointNet classifier and transfer to PointNet-LK.
• ex1_genrot.sh: generate perturbations for testing
• ex1_test_pointlk.sh: test PointNet-LK
• ex1_test_icp.sh: test ICP
• ex1_result_stat.sh: compute mean errors of above tests
