PCR-CG explicitly embeds deep color features into 3D geometry representation, improving point cloud registration accuracy and robustness, particularly on challenging low-overlap datasets. The method achieved a +6.5% registration recall improvement over its baseline on the 3DLoMatch benchmark.
Key insights
- Explicitly embedding deep color features into geometry representation significantly enhances 3D point cloud registration, especially in low-overlap environments.
- Leveraging pre-trained 2D networks and carefully designed 2D-3D projection for 'overlap-aware' features is more effective than using raw RGB values or implicit color fusion.
- The vast knowledge from 2D vision, including pre-trained models, can be effectively transferred to benefit low-level 3D tasks, improving performance and robustness.
