PointNetLK: Robust & Efficient Point Cloud Registration using PointNet

Understand

PointNet has revolutionized how we think about representing point clouds.

• For classification and segmentation tasks, the approach and its subsequent extensions are state-of-the-art.
• To date, the successful application of PointNet to point cloud registration has remained elusive.
• In this paper we argue that PointNet itself can be thought of as a learnable "imaging" function.
