• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based framework for 3D shape registration, which overcomes the challenges of significant non-rigid deformation and partiality undergoing among input shapes, and, remarkably, requires no correspondence annotation during training. Our key insight is to incorporate neural features learned by deep learning-based shape matching networks into an iterative, geometric shape registration pipeline. The advantage of our approach is two-fold -- On one hand, neural features provide more accurate and semantically meaningful correspondence estimation than spatial features (e.g., coordinates), which is critical in the presence of large non-rigid deformations; On the other hand, the correspondences are dynamically updated according to the intermediate registrations and filtered by consistency prior, which prominently robustify the overall pipeline. Empirical results show that, with as few as dozens of training shapes of limited variability, our pipeline achieves state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks of non-rigid point cloud matching and partial shape matching across varying settings, but also delivers high-quality correspondences between unseen challenging shape pairs that undergo both significant extrinsic and intrinsic deformations, in which case neither traditional registration methods nor intrinsic methods work.

  Establishing a correspondence between two non-rigidly deforming shapes is one of the most fundamental problems in visual computing. We introduce an approach based on auto-decoder framework, that learns a continuous shape-wise deformation field over a fixed template. Our method is remarkably robust in the presence of strong artefacts and can be generalised to arbitrary shape categories.

  Current deep learning based methods require the supervision of dense annotations to learn per-point translations. We develop a new Unsupervised Deformation Embedding Network (i.e., UD2E-Net), which learns to predict deformations between non-rigid shapes from dense local features. Our UD2E-Net outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised methods by 24% on Faust Inter challenge and even supervised methods by 13% on Faust Intra challenge.
