A novel 3D vorticity based approach for automatic registration of low resolution range images

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel local surface descriptor (3D-Vor) is proposed for surface representation.

• The proposed 3D-Vor exploits the vector field׳s vorticity.

• A novel pairwise registration algorithm is also proposed.

• 3D-Vor is tested on low resolution dataset for range image registration.

• 3D-Vor based registration achieves 90% accuracy on low resolution data and outperforms state-of-the-art techniques.
