Rectified Point Flow: Generic Point Cloud Pose Estimation

computer-vision › 3d-vision
📄 Abstract

Abstract: We introduce Rectified Point Flow, a unified parameterization that formulates pairwise point cloud registration and multi-part shape assembly as a single conditional generative problem. Given unposed point clouds, our method learns a continuous point-wise velocity field that transports noisy points toward their target positions, from which part poses are recovered. In contrast to prior work that regresses part-wise poses with ad-hoc symmetry handling, our method intrinsically learns assembly symmetries without symmetry labels. Together with a self-supervised encoder focused on overlapping points, our method achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on six benchmarks spanning pairwise registration and shape assembly. Notably, our unified formulation enables effective joint training on diverse datasets, facilitating the learning of shared geometric priors and consequently boosting accuracy.

Key Contributions

Rectified Point Flow introduces a unified formulation for point cloud registration and shape assembly as a single conditional generative problem. It learns a continuous point-wise velocity field to transport noisy points to target positions, intrinsically learning assembly symmetries without explicit labels. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks by enabling effective joint training on diverse datasets.

Business Value

Enables more accurate and efficient 3D reconstruction and object manipulation for applications in robotics, autonomous driving, and AR/VR, leading to improved automation and user experiences.
