The Reverse Engineering industries has an increasing need for remanufacturing of worn out spare parts or spare parts with lost technical data like drawings or CAD models, in this project a new hybrid algorithm is proposed for the rigid registration of point clouds obtained from scanning of spare parts by a laser scanner. The hybrid algorithm is dividing the registration process into two stages called the coarse and fine registration, the coarse registration is performed by the Genetic Algorithm (GA) that yield an approximate transformation between the two point clouds, and then inherit its findings to the fine registration that is performed by the Interior Point method to reach the accurate transformation and the successful registration of the two point clouds. In this research two techniques for point clouds registration are applied, tested, evaluated and compared to each other. It was found that using the GA and Interior point method is a good alternative for registering point clouds. The objective of this work is to register two point clouds successfully with minimum error, and high reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
