Abstract

According to one or more embodiments, operations may comprise obtaining a first point cloud. The operations also comprise performing segmentation of the first point cloud, the segmentation generating one or more clusters of points of the point cloud. The operations also comprise determining, for each respective cluster of the plurality of clusters, a respective geometric feature of a corresponding object that corresponds to the respective cluster. The operations also comprise obtaining a second point cloud. The operations also comprise assigning a plurality of weights that comprises assigning a respective weight to each respective cluster based on the respective geometric feature that corresponds to the respective cluster. The operations also comprise obtaining a second point cloud and aligning the first point cloud with the second point cloud based on the plurality of weights.
