GH-ICP:Iterative Closest Point algorithm with global optimal matching and hybrid metric

GH-ICP is a robust coarse-to-fine pairwise point cloud registration method.

Two key innovative points over ICP are:

  1. Global optimal matching (Using Bipartite Graph and KM algorithm)

  2. Hybrid metrics (Using Euclidean distance and feature distance at the same time)

The earlier conference version of GH-ICP is called Iterative Global Similarity Point (IGSP).

To highlight two key innovative points of the algorithm, we renamed IGSP as GH-ICP.

How to use

  1. Install dependent 3rd libraries

PCL(>=1.7), LibLas(Optional for las data IO)

  1. Compile
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make 
  1. Run
cd ..
# configure the script/run.sh file for editting the data path and key parameters
sh script/run.sh
  1. Parameter configuration
#./script/run.sh

  1. Data preparation

You can test on the online available point cloud data and registration dataset such as WHU TLS Registration Dataset, ETH PRS TLS Registration Dataset, ETH ASL Robotics Registration Dataset, 3D Match, Robotic 3D Scan Repository, etc.

You may apply the format transform tool to get the data ready for registration.

You can also use your own data and edit the data path in the shell file. Four formats of point cloud data are available (*.pcd, *.las, *.ply, *.txt) for IO.

#./script/run.sh

#data path
target_point_cloud_path=...
source_point_cloud_path=...
output_point_cloud_path=...

  1. Analysis

Some other well-known automatic registration algorithms are also provided in this repo. and you may apply them as reference.
