As promising technology with low requirements and high depositing efficiency, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) can significantly reduce the repair cost and improve the formation quality of molds. To further improve the accuracy of WAAM in repairing molds, the point cloud model that expresses the spatial distribution and surface characteristics of the mold is proposed. Since the mold has a large size, it is necessary to be scanned multiple times, resulting in multiple point cloud models. The point cloud registration, such as the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm, then plays the role of merging multiple point cloud models to reconstruct a complete data model. However, using the ICP algorithm to merge large point clouds with a low-overlap area is inefficient, time-consuming, and unsatisfactory. Therefore, this paper provides the improved Offset Iterative Closest Point (OICP) algorithm, which is an online fast registration algorithm suitable for intelligent WAAM mold repair technology. The practicality and reliability of the algorithm are illustrated by the comparison results with the standard ICP algorithm and the three-coordinate measuring instrument in the Experimental Setup Section. The results are that the OICP algorithm is feasible for registrations with low overlap rates. For an overlap rate lower than 60% in our experiments, the traditional ICP algorithm failed, while the Root Mean Square (RMS) error reached 0.1 mm, and the rotation error was within 0.5 degrees, indicating the improvement of the proposed OICP algorithm.

Abstract This paper describes a variant of the extended Gaussian image based registration algorithm for point clouds with surface color information. The method correlates the distributions of surface normals for rotational alignment and grid occupancy for translational alignment with hue filters applied during the construction of surface normal histograms and occupancy grids. In this method, the size of the point cloud is reduced with a hue-based down sampling that is independent of the point sample density or local geometry. Experimental results show that use of the hue filters increases the registration speed and improves the registration accuracy. Coarse rigid transformations determined in this step enable fine alignment with dense, unfiltered point clouds or using Iterative Common Point (ICP) alignment techniques.

The registration of point clouds in a three-dimensional space is an important task in many areas of computer vision, including robotics and autonomous driving. The purpose of registration is to find a rigid geometric transformation to align two point clouds. The registration problem can be affected by noise and partiality (two point clouds only have a partial overlap). The Iterative Closed Point (ICP) algorithm is a common method for solving the registration problem. Recently, artificial neural networks have begun to be used in the registration of point clouds. The drawback of ICP and other registration algorithms is the possible convergence to a local minimum. Thus, an important characteristic of a registration algorithm is the ability to avoid local minima. In this paper, we propose an ICP-type registration algorithm (λ-ICP) that uses a multiparameter functional (λ-functional). The proposed λ-ICP algorithm generalizes the NICP algorithm (normal ICP). The application of the λ-functional requires a consistent choice of the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of two point clouds. The paper also proposes an algorithm for choosing the directions of eigenvectors. The performance of the proposed λ-ICP algorithm is compared with that of a standard point-to-point ICP and neural network Deep Closest Points (DCP).
