Unlike most of the existing works, which are based on minimizing a point-wise correspondence term, we propose to describe the model set by means of an implicit representation. It allows a new definition of the registration error, which works beyond the point level representation. Moreover, it could be used in a gradient-based optimization framework. The proposed approach consists of two stages. Firstly, a novel formulation is proposed that relates the registration parameters with the distance between the model and data set. Secondly, the registration parameters are obtained by means of the Levengberg-Marquardt algorithm. Experimental results and comparisons with state of the art show the validity of the proposed framework.", optnote="ADAS", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1832), last updated on Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:26:24 +0100", isbn="978-1-4577-1101-5", issn="1550-5499", doi="10.1109/ICCV.2011.6126491" }
