Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A computer-implemented method of deformable object stitching, comprising:
receiving a first point cloud and a second point cloud having a partial overlap;
finding first prominent features in a subregion G1 and a subregion G2 in a region of the partial overlap;
determining first geodesics based on the first prominent features;
finding second prominent features in a subregion H1 and a subregion H2 in the region of the partial overlap;
determining second geodesics based on the second prominent features;
generating a first correspondence between the subregion G1 and the subregion H1;
generating a second correspondence between the subregion G2 and the subregion H2;
deforming the first geodesics and the second geodesics based on the first correspondence and the second correspondence;
stitching the first point cloud and the second point cloud, thereby generating a stitched point cloud;
calculating a required deformation to transform the first geodesics to the second geodesics;
applying the required deformation to the second point cloud to match the second point cloud to the first point cloud, thereby refining the stitched point cloud; and
producing a refined stitched point cloud in a predetermined format.
