High-confidence overlap prediction and accurate correspondences are critical for cutting-edge models to align paired point clouds in a partial-to-partial manner.

However, there inherently exists uncertainty between the overlapping and non-overlapping regions, which has always been neglected

… propose a novel uncertainty-aware overlap prediction network, dubbed UTOPIC, to tackle the ambiguous overlap prediction problem

… induce the feature extractor to implicitly perceive the shape knowledge through a completion decoder, and present a geometric relation embedding for Transformer to obtain transformation-invariant geometry-aware feature representations.

… UTOPIC can achieve stable and accurate registration results, even for the inputs with limited overlapping areas.

… demonstrate the superiority of … approach over state-of-the-art methods …
