Abstract: 3D digital representation of real-world shapes and scenes is essential for a variety of applications ranging from virtual/augmented reality to geometric modelling for 3D printing. Due to unavoidable occlusion and sensor limitations, multiple scans are often needed, which are then registered to form complete shapes. Despite great effort, this is still a challenging problem, especially when low-cost colour and depth (RGB-D) sensors are used, and objects are deforming non-rigidly. My talk will overview some of our recent effort in addressing this problem, including identifying correspondences efficiently and robustly using local geodesics and diffusion pruning, improving robustness and accuracy of non-rigid registration using sparse priors, and exploiting knowledge in a shape collection to effectively register a template model to a single noisy scan captured using a low-quality depth camera.
