The general objective is to model complex nonrigid deformations between two or more overlapping point clouds. Applications are diverse and span multiple research fields, including registration of topographic data, scene flow estimation, and dynamic shape reconstruction. To provide context, the first part of the paper gives a general introduction to the topic of point cloud registration, including a categorization of existing methods. Then, a general mathematical formulation for the point cloud registration problem is introduced, which is then extended to address also nonrigid registration methods. A detailed discussion and categorization of existing approaches to nonrigid registration follows. In the second part of the paper, we propose a new method that uses piecewise tricubic polynomials for modeling nonrigid deformations. Our method offers several advantages over existing methods. These advantages include easy control of flexibility through a small number of intuitive tuning parameters, a closed-form optimization solution, and an efficient transformation of huge point clouds. We demonstrate our method through multiple examples that cover a broad range of applications, with a focus on remote sensing applications\u2014namely, the registration of airborne laser scanning (ALS), mobile laser scanning (MLS), and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds. The implementation of our algorithms is open source and can be found our public repository.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15225348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,14]],"date-time":"2023-11-14T02:20:37Z","timestamp":1699928437000},"page":"5348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Nonrigid Point Cloud Registration Using Piecewise Tricubic Polynomials as Transformation Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7698-8479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philipp","family":"Glira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AAS Assistive and Autonomous Systems, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, 1210 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Weidinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AAS Assistive and Autonomous Systems, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, 1210 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Otepka-Schremmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Photogrammetry Research Group, Vienna University of Technology, 1040 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3716-8961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camillo","family":"Ressl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Photogrammetry Research Group, Vienna University of Technology, 1040 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2348-7929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Norbert","family":"Pfeifer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Photogrammetry Research Group, Vienna University of Technology, 1040 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michaela","family":"Haberler-Weber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00d6BB Austrian Federal Railways, 1020 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Besl, P.J., and McKay, N.D.
