A silhouette-contour based 3-D registration methodology as a pre-evaluation step of 3-D reconstruction techniques
Data registration is a crucial step in performance evaluation procedures that aim at localizing errors in given measured data. Under the performance evaluation topic, the probably corrupted measured data should be accurately registered/aligned to the ground truth data such that the registration process would not affect the accuracy of the consequent evaluation steps. To cope with this problem, another registration methodology that can go beyond the conventional ones should be used. Here we propose a novel approach for 3-D data registration. The performance of the approach is totally independent of the measured data set. The key advantage of this approach is that it keeps the registration process away from being affected by the probably corrupted data sets, hence it permits confidential evaluation results.
