• Title: RANSIC: Fast and Highly Robust Estimation for Rotation Search and Point Cloud Registration using Invariant Compatibility
• Authors: Lei Sun
• Abstract summary: Correspondence-based rotation search and point cloud registration are fundamental problems in robotics and computer vision. We present RANSIC, a fast and highly robust method applicable to both problems based on a new paradigm combining random sampling with invariance and compatibility. In multiple synthetic and real experiments, we demonstrate that RANSIC is fast for use, robust against over 95% outliers, and also able to recall approximately 100% inliers, outperforming other state-of-the-art solvers for both the rotation search and the point cloud registration problems.

• Abstract: Correspondence-based rotation search and point cloud registration are two fundamental problems in robotics and computer vision. However, the presence of outliers, sometimes even occupying the great majority of the putative correspondences, can make many existing algorithms either fail or have very high computational cost. In this paper, we present RANSIC (RANdom Sampling with Invariant Compatibility), a fast and highly robust method applicable to both problems based on a new paradigm combining random sampling with invariance and compatibility. Generally, RANSIC starts with randomly selecting small subsets from the correspondence set, then seeks potential inliers as graph vertices from the random subsets through the compatibility tests of invariants established in each problem, and eventually returns the eligible inliers when there exists at least one K-degree vertex (K is automatically updated depending on the problem) and the residual errors satisfy a certain termination condition at the same time. In multiple synthetic and real experiments, we demonstrate that RANSIC is fast for use, robust against over 95% outliers, and also able to recall approximately 100% inliers, outperforming other state-of-the-art solvers for both the rotation search and the point cloud registration problems.

  This paper considers the problem of online clustering with bandit feedback.

We show through extensive simulations on synthetic and real-world datasets that BOC's performance matches the lower boundally, and significantly outperforms a non-adaptive baseline algorithm.

  3D point cloud registration is a fundamental problem in remote sensing, photogrammetry, robotics and geometric computer vision. We propose a novel, fast and highly robust solution, named VOCRA, for the point cloud registration problem with extreme outlier rates. We show that our solver VOCRA is robust against over 99% outliers and more time-efficient than the state-of-the-art competitors.

  Most datasets only capture a simpler subproblem and likely suffer from spurious features. We study adversarial robustness - a local generalization property - to reveal hard, model-specific instances and spurious features. Unlike in other applications, where perturbation models are designed around subjective notions of imperceptibility, our perturbation models are efficient and sound. Surprisingly, with such perturbations, a sufficiently expressive neural solver does not suffer from the limitations of the accuracy-robustness trade-off common in supervised learning.

  Correspondence-based point cloud registration is a cornerstone in computer vision, robotics perception, photogrammetry and remote sensing.
