Details on ICP registration implementation

Operating system: Windows 7 64bits
Slicer version: 4.8.1
Expected behavior: N/A
Actual behavior: N/A

I am using the surface registration module with “Surface Registration” as “Type of Registration”. I just wanted some extra information about it:
*Is the registration algorithm a pure ICP method, i.e. it aligns points WITHOUT considering normals or curvature?
*Is the “Number Of Landmarks” the number of points sampled from the mesh surface? Is the sampling done randomly?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

The Surface Registration module which is part of the CMFreg extension uses vtkIterativeClosestPointTransform. You can look into the details in the following links.

    def __init__(self, parent):
        ScriptedLoadableModule.__init__(self, parent)
        self.parent.title = "Surface Registration"
