Matching deformable objects in clutter

Abstract

We consider the problem of deformable object detection and dense correspondence in cluttered 3D scenes. Key ingredient to our method is the choice of representation: we formulate the problem in the spectral domain using the functional maps framework, where we seek for the most regular nearly-isometric parts in the model and the scene that minimize correspondence error. The problem is initialized by solving a sparse relaxation of a quadratic assignment problem on features obtained via data-driven metric learning. The resulting matching pipeline is solved efficiently, and yields accurate results in challenging settings that were previously left unexplored in the literature.
