Incredibly useful and reliable!

3-D vs. 2-D perception
Main object: point clouds
Point clouds contain more information: 3-D shape perception is critical Point clouds have little information: points are sparse, volume is inferred Instance detection is the main objective
We want SE3 poses, not just bounding boxes

Calculating surface normals
Point cloud Point cloud w/ surface normals (normals are subsampled)

Calculating surface normals
Question: How do we calculate the surface normal given only points?
Answer:
1. Calculate the sample covariance matrix of the points within a local neighborhood of the surface normal
2. Take Eigenvalues/Eigenvectors of that covariance matrix

Calculating surface normals
Let C denote the set of points in the point cloud Suppose we want to calculate the surface normal at
Let denote the r-ball about x
is the set of points in the cloud within r of x

Calculating surface normals
Calculate the sample covariance matrix of the points in

Calculating surface normals
Length =
Eigenvalues of
Length =
Principle axes of ellipse point in directions of corresponding eigenvectors

Calculating surface normals
So: surface normal is in the direction of the Eigenvector corresponding to the smallest Eigenvalue of
There should be two large eigenvalues and one small eigenvalue.

Calculating surface normals: Summary
1. calculate points within r-ball about x:
2. calculate covariance matrix:
3. calculate Eigenvectors:
and Eigenvalues: (lambda_3 is smallest)
4. v_3 is parallel or antiparallel to surface normal

Question
What if there are two small eigenvalues and one large eigenvalue?

Calculating surface normals
Important note: the points alone do not tell us the sign of the surface normal

Question
Important note: the points alone do not tell us the sign of the surface normal
Any ideas about how we might estimate sign given a set of points generated by one or more depth sensors?

Calculating surface normals
How large a point neighborhood to use when calculating ?
Because points can be uneven, don’t use k-nearest neighbor. – it’s important to select a radius r and stick w/ it.
– which what value of r to use?

Outlier removal
Similar approach as in normal estimation: 1. calculate local covariance matrix
2. estimate Eigenvectors/Eigenvalues
3. use that information somehow… Images from Course INF 555 slides, Ecole Polytechnique, Paris

Outlier removal
If points lie on a plane or line, then small
is
If points are uniformly random, then
is close to 1
Outlier removal: delete all points for which

ICP data association problem
This slide from: Burgard, Stachniss, Bennewitz, Arras, U. Freiburg

ICP Algorithm
Input: two point sets, X and P
Output: translation t and rotation R that best aligns pt sets
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Start with a “good” alignment Repeat until t and R are small:
for every point in X, find its closest neighbor in P find min t and R for that correspondence assignment translate and rotate P by t and R
Figure out net translation and rotation, t and R
– Converges if the point sets are initially well aligned – Besl and McKay, 1992

Normal-space sampling
Idea:
– estimate surface normals of all points
– bucket points in surface normal space (i.e. discretize in normal space) – select buckets uniformly randomly. Then select a point uniformly
randomly from within the bucket.
