Definition

Given two copies of an object surface at different locations and orientations in space, or two parts of the surface of a single object with at least some shared overlapping area, find a translation and rigid rotation which places the objects, or corresponding parts of the object, at the same location and orientation. This process is called rigid registration. In practice many approaches to rigid registration work by finding point-to-point correspondences between parts of the object surface in each dataset and use these to estimate the geometric transformation in either least-squares or weighted least-squares sense with closed-form solution. Often, registration algorithms also output the point-to-point correspondences which can be just as useful to many applications as the transformation itself. A correspondence is such a pair of points that while they are described in two different...
