Abstract: For 3D reconstruction of textureless indoor scenarios, we designed a quad-configuration target to assist pair-wise registration of indoor RGB-D point clouds. In detail, we first detected the quad-configuration target by filtering large curvature points with threshold. Then the target parameters and centers in adjacent point clouds were fitted by the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm, matching the centers of the targets by fitting parameters, and achieving rough registration via rigid transformation with 4 points congruent sets. Next, we iteratively identified the overlapping areas between adjacent point clouds. Finally, we used the optimized overlapping area to fine-tune the rigid parameters between adjacent point clouds. In order to test the usability of our method, we used a Kinect camera to acquire 12 station point clouds for two different indoor scenes, respectively. Experimental results indicated that the root mean square error between adjacent point clouds is less than one point sampling interval, which demonstrated the robustness of the proposed method in indoor scene reconstruction with less texture.
