This paper offers a comprehensive survey and a novel taxonomy for over 100 deep learning-based point cloud registration methods, ranging from supervised to unsupervised approaches. It also quantitatively evaluates state-of-the-art algorithms on benchmark datasets like 3DMatch and KITTI under unified settings, revealing performance trade-offs and future research avenues.

Key insights

  • Supervised DL-PCR methods currently dominate, driven by accuracy, while unsupervised approaches are gaining interest to reduce reliance on labeled data.
  • DL-PCR models frequently specialize in specific pipeline stages or integrate traditional geometric algorithms to enhance robustness and efficiency.
  • Quantitative evaluation reveals trade-offs between high registration recall, inlier ratio, and model complexity across different DL-PCR algorithms.
