Geometry-Constrained Bidirectional Point Cloud Registration for Thin, Sheet-Like Heritage Artifacts

Non-contact three-dimensional reconstruction of thin, sheet-like heritage artifacts poses significant geometric and registration challenges.

Key points

  • To address these challenges, we propose a geometry-constrained bidirectional point cloud registration method specifically tailored for thin, sheet-like heritage artifacts.
  • The method integrates semantic-guided preprocessing, Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-based geometric normalization, and a thickness-aware registration strategy.
  • The estimated physical thickness is incorporated as a geometric constraint to preserve structural integrity during registration.
  • Rotational ambiguity is resolved by evaluating a finite set of global rotation hypotheses, each refined using the point-to-plane Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm, with the optimal transformation selected via a geometry-aware fitness criterion consistent with the thickness scale.
