• Abstract: Image-to-point cloud registration seeks to estimate their relative camera pose, which remains an open question due to the data modality gaps. The recent matching-based methods tend to tackle this by building 2D-3D correspondences. In this paper, we reveal the information loss inherent in these methods and propose a matching-free paradigm, named MaFreeI2P. Our key insight is to actively retrieve the camera pose in SE(3) space by contrasting the geometric features between the point cloud and the query image. To achieve this, we first sample a set of candidate camera poses and construct their cost volume using the cross-modal features. Superior to matching, cost volume can preserve more information and its feature similarity implicitly reflects the confidence level of the sampled poses. Afterwards, we employ a convolutional network to adaptively formulate a similarity assessment function, where the input cost volume is further improved by filtering and pose-based weighting. Finally, we update the camera pose based on the similarity scores, and adopt a heuristic strategy to iteratively shrink the pose sampling space for convergence. Our MaFreeI2P achieves a very competitive registration accuracy and recall on the KITTI-Odometry and Apollo-DaoxiangLake datasets.

  Image-to-point cloud registration aims to determine the relative camera pose of an RGB image with respect to a point cloud. Most learning-based methods establish 2D-3D point correspondences in feature space without any feedback mechanism for iterative optimization. We propose to reformulate the registration procedure as an iterative Markov decision process, allowing for incremental adjustments to the camera pose.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses.

Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  Image-to-point cloud registration aims to determine the relative camera pose between an RGB image and a reference point cloud. Matching individual points with pixels can be inherently ambiguous due to modality gaps. We propose a framework to capture quantity-aware correspondences between local point sets and pixel patches.
