Deep point cloud registration methods face challenges to partial overlaps and rely on labeled data … propose UDPReg, an unsupervised deep probabilistic registration framework for point clouds with partial overlaps.

… first adopt a network to learn posterior probability distributions of Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) from point clouds.

To handle partial point cloud registration … apply the Sinkhorn algorithm to predict the distribution-level correspondences under the constraint of the mixing weights of GMMs.

To enable unsupervised learning … design three distribution consistency-based losses: self-consistency, cross-consistency, and local contrastive.

… self-consistency loss is formulated by encouraging GMMs in Euclidean and feature spaces to share identical posterior distributions … local contrastive loss facilitates … extract discriminative local features.

… UDPReg achieves competitive performance on the 3DMatch/3DLoMatch and ModelNet/ModelLoNet benchmarks.
