Improving Registration Accuracy

Accurate 3D object reconstruction requires accurate data alignment as well as having accurate data to begin with. Given the iterative nature of many of the alignment algorithms, researchers are investigating methods of avoiding local minima in the search space (12,11,55,44,9). A second statistical approach uses better information about the uncertainty of measurements themselves for the alignment and fusion (30,69,18,71,27,45,52,67,10,68,50).
