Based on these two skeletons, initial correspondences between branch segments of both point clouds are established to estimate local transformation parameters. The transformation estimation relies on minimizing the distance between the points in $hbox{PC}_{1}$ and the skeleton of $hbox{PC}_{2}$. The performance of the method is demonstrated on two example trees. It is shown that significant improvements can be achieved for the registration of fine branches. These improvements are quantified as the residual point-to-line distances before and after the localized fine registration. In our experiment, the residual error after the local registration is on an average of 5 mm over 90 skeleton segments, which is about three times smaller than the average residual error of the initial rough registration.]]> http://www.grss-ieee.org/localized-registration-of-point-clouds-of-botanic-trees/feed/ 0 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6302174 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6302174#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000 Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, IEEE - new TOC http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6302174 $1^{circ} times 1^{circ}$ spatial resolution shows a significant correlation ranging from 0.83 to 0.93 and a root-mean-square error of 0.4–0.5 psu with the in situ-based objectively analyzed SSS from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
