C-GenReg: Training-Free 3D Point Cloud Registration by Multi-View-Consistent Geometry-to-Image Generation with Probabilistic Modalities Fusion

CVPR 2026

We introduce C-GenReg, a training-free framework for 3D point cloud registration that leverages the complementary strengths of world-scale generative priors and registration-oriented Vision Foundation Models (VFMs). Current learning-based 3D point cloud registration methods struggle to generalize ac

Mesh-RTUME: Universal Manifold Embedding for Estimating 3D Rigid Transformations of Surfaces

ICASSP 2024accepted

We consider the problems of estimating the underlying transformation and the detection of 3-D objects undergoing rigid transformations. It has been shown that the Rigid Transformation Universal Manifold Embedding (RTUME) provides a mapping from the set of all possible observations on some object to…

UMERegRobust – Universal Manifold Embedding Compatible Features for Robust Point Cloud Registration

ECCV 2024poster

"In this paper, we adopt the Universal Manifold Embedding (UME) framework for the estimation of rigid transformations and extend it, so that it can accommodate scenarios involving partial overlap and differently sampled point clouds. UME is a methodology designed for mapping observations of the same…

Grassmannian Dimensionality Reduction Using Triplet Margin Loss for Ume Classification of 3d Point Clouds

ICASSP 2022accepted

We consider the problem of classifying 3-D objects undergoing rigid transformations. It has been shown that the rigid transformation universal manifold embedding (RTUME) provides a mapping from the orbit of observations on some object to a single low-dimensional linear subspace of Euclidean space. T…

The Universal Manifold Embedding for Estimating Rigid Transformations of Point Clouds

ICASSP 2019accepted

We present a closed form solution to the problem of registration and detection of dense 3-D point clouds undergoing unknown rigid deformations. The solution is obtained by adapting the general framework of the universal manifold embedding (UME) to the case where the deformations the object may under…

Geometry and radiometry invariant matched manifold detection and tracking

ICASSP 2016accepted

We present a novel framework for detection, tracking and recognition of deformable objects undergoing geometric and radiometric transformations. Assuming the geometric deformations an object undergoes, belong to some finite dimensional family, it has been shown that the universal manifold embedding…

Detection and recognition of deformable objects using structured dimensionality reduction

ICASSP 2015accepted

We present a novel framework for detection and recognition of deformable objects undergoing geometric deformations. Assuming the geometric deformations belong to some finite dimensional family, it is shown that there exists a set of nonlinear operators that universally maps each of the different man…
