register_object_model_3d_global — Improve the relative transformations between 3D object models based on
their overlaps.
register_object_model_3d_global( : : ObjectModels3D, HomMats3D, From, To, GenParamName, GenParamValue : HomMats3DOut, Scores)
register_object_model_3d_global improves the relative transformations
between 3D object models, which is called global registration.
In particular, under the assumption that all input 3D objects
models in ObjectModels3D have a known approximated
spatial relation,
all possible pairwise overlapping areas are calculated and optimized for
a better alignment. The resulting offset is
then synchronously minimized for all pairs. The entire
process is then repeated iteratively from the newly resulting starting poses.
The result in HomMats3DOut describes a transformation that
can be applied with affine_trans_object_model_3d to the input
3D object models to transform all in a common reference frame.
Scores contains for every 3D object model the number of found
neighbors with a sufficient
overlap. If no overlap is found for at least one object, an exception is
raised.
Three types for the interpretation of the starting poses in
HomMats3D are available, which is controlled by the parameters
From and To:
First, if From is set to 'global', the
parameter HomMats3D must contain a rigid transformation with
12 entries for each 3D object model in ObjectModels3D that
describes its position in relation to a common global reference frame. In
this case, To must be empty. This case is suitable, e.g.,
if transformations are applied by a turning table or a robot to either
the camera or the object. In this case, all neighborhoods that are possible
are considered for the global optimization.
Second, if From is set to
'previous', the parameter HomMats3D must contain a
rigid transformation for each subsequent pair of 3D object models in
ObjectModels3D (one less than for the first case).
An example for this
situation might be a matching applied consecutively to the previous
frame (e.g., with register_object_model_3d_pair). To must
be empty again. In this case, all neighborhoods that are possible
are considered for the global optimization.
Third, you can describe any transformation in HomMats3D
by setting From and To to the indices of the
3D object models for which the corresponding transformation is valid.
That is, a given transformation describes the transformation that is needed
to move the 3D object model with the index that is specified in
From into the coordinate system of the 3D object model with the
corresponding index that is specified in To.
In this case, HomMats3D
should contain all possible neighborhood relations between the objects,
since no other than these neighborhoods are considered for
the optimization. Please consider, that for all 3D object
models at least one path of transformations to each other 3D object
model must be contained in the such specified transformations.
If ObjectModels3D contains 3D-primitives, they will internally
be transformed into point clouds and will be considered as such.
The accuracy of the returned poses is limited to around 0.1% of the size of the point clouds due to numerical reasons. The accuracy further depends on the noise of the data points, the number of data points and the shape of the point clouds.
The process of the global registration can be controlled further
by the following generic parameters in
GenParamName and GenParamValue:
Allows to choose between two default parameter sets, i.e., it allows to switch between a 'fast' and an 'accurate' set of parameters.
Possible values: 'fast', 'accurate'
Default value: 'accurate'
The relative sampling rate of the 3D object models. This value is relative to the object's diameter and refers to the minimal distance between two sampled points. A higher value leads to faster results, whereas a lower value leads to more accurate results.
Suggested values: 0.03, 0.05, 0.07
Default value: 0.05 Assertion: 0 < 'rel_sampling_distance' < 1
Number of points that are skipped for the pose refinement. The value specifies the number of points that are skipped per selected point. Increasing this value allows faster convergence at the cost of less accurate results. The internally used method for the refinement is asymmetric and this parameter only affects the second model of each tested pair.
Suggested values: 1, 2, 20
Default value: 2 Assertion: 'pose_ref_sub_sampling' > 0
Number of iterations applied to adjust the initial alignment. The better the initial alignment is, the less iterations are necessary.
Possible values: 1, 2, 2
Default value: 2
This operator supports cancelling timeouts and interrupts.
