The ECMPR software

Participant : Florence Forbes.

Joint work with: Radu Horaud and Manuel Iguel.

The ECMPR (Expectation Conditional Maximization for Point Registration) package implements [56] [17] . It registers two (2D or 3D) point clouds using an algorithm based on maximum likelihood with hidden variables. The method can register both rigid and articulated shapes. It estimates both the rigid or the kinematic transformation between the two shapes as well as the parameters (covariances) associated with the underlying Gaussian mixture model. It has been registered in APP in 2010 under the GPL license.
