• Abstract summary: Point Cloud Registration (PCR) estimates the relative rigid transformation between two point clouds. We propose formulating PCR as a denoising diffusion probabilistic process, mapping noisy transformations to the ground truth. Our experiments showcase the effectiveness of our DiffusionPCR, yielding state-of-the-art registration recall rates (95.3%/81.6%) on 3D and 3DLoMatch.

• Abstract: Point Cloud Registration (PCR) estimates the relative rigid transformation between two point clouds. We propose formulating PCR as a denoising diffusion probabilistic process, mapping noisy transformations to the ground truth. However, using diffusion models for PCR has nontrivial challenges, such as adapting a generative model to a discriminative task and leveraging the estimated nonlinear transformation from the previous step. Instead of training a diffusion model to directly map pure noise to ground truth, we map the predictions of an off-the-shelf PCR model to ground truth. The predictions of off-the-shelf models are often imperfect, especially in challenging cases where the two points clouds have low overlap, and thus could be seen as noisy versions of the real rigid transformation. In addition, we transform the rotation matrix into a spherical linear space for interpolation between samples in the forward process, and convert rigid transformations into auxiliary information to implicitly exploit last-step estimations in the reverse process. As a result, conditioned on time step, the denoising model adapts to the increasing accuracy across steps and refines registrations. Our extensive experiments showcase the effectiveness of our DiffusionPCR, yielding state-of-the-art registration recall rates (95.3%/81.6%) on 3DMatch and 3DLoMatch. The code will be made public upon publication.

  We propose Diffusion State-Guided Projected Gradient (DiffStateGrad) for inverse problems. DiffStateGrad projects the measurement gradient onto a subspace that is a low-rank approximation of an intermediate state of the diffusion process. We highlight that DiffStateGrad improves the robustness of diffusion models in terms of the choice of measurement guidance step size and noise.

We demonstrate that our one-step generator outperforms cutting-edge one-step diffusion distillation models.

• PCRDiffusion: Diffusion Probabilistic Models for Point Cloud Registration [28.633279452622475]
  We propose a new framework that formulates point cloud registration as a denoising diffusion process from noisy transformation to object transformation. During training stage, object transformation diffuses from ground-truth transformation to random distribution, and the model learns to reverse this noising process. In sampling stage, the model refines randomly generated transformation to the output result in a progressive way.

  We introduce an SE(3) diffusion model-based point cloud registration framework for 6D object pose estimation in real-world scenarios. Our approach formulates the 3D registration task as a denoising diffusion process, which progressively refines the pose of the source point cloud. Experiments demonstrate that our diffusion registration framework presents outstanding pose estimation performance on the real-world TUD-L, LINEMOD, and Occluded-LINEMOD datasets.

• A Variational Perspective on Solving Inverse Problems with Diffusion Models [101.831766524264]
  Inverse tasks can be formulated as inferring a posterior distribution over data. This is however challenging in diffusion models since the nonlinear and iterative nature of the diffusion process renders the posterior intractable. We propose a variational approach that by design seeks to approximate the true posterior distribution.
