• Abstract: Image-to-point cloud registration methods typically follow a coarse-to-fine pipeline, extracting patch-level correspondences and refining them into dense pixel-to-point matches. However, in scenes with repetitive patterns, images often lack sufficient 3D structural cues and alignment with point clouds, leading to incorrect matches. Moreover, prior methods usually overlook structural consistency, limiting the full exploitation of correspondences. To address these issues, we propose two novel modules: the Local Geometry Enhancement (LGE) module and the Graph Distribution Consistency (GDC) module. LGE enhances both image and point cloud features with normal vectors, injecting geometric structure into image features to reduce mismatches. GDC constructs a graph from matched points to update features and explicitly constrain similarity distributions. Extensive experiments and ablations on two benchmarks, RGB-D Scenes v2 and 7-Scenes, demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in image-to-point cloud registration.

  Traditional 3D networks mainly focus on local geometric details and ignore the topological structure between local geometries. We propose a novel Priors Distillation (RPD) method to extract priors from the well-trained transformers on massive images. Experiments on the PointDA-10 and the Sim-to-Real datasets verify that the proposed method consistently achieves the state-of-the-art performance of UDA for point cloud classification.

  We treat 3D scene graph alignment as a partial graph-matching problem and propose to solve it with a graph neural network. We reuse the geometric features learned by a point cloud registration method and associate the clustered point-level geometric features with the node-level semantic feature. We propose a point-matching rescoring method, that uses the node-wise alignment of the 3D scene graph to reweight the matching candidates from a pre-trained point cloud registration method.
