TEASER++: fast & certifiable 3D registration

License: MIT Documentation Status

TEASER++ 3DSmooth

TEASER++ is a fast and certifiably-robust point cloud registration library written in C++, with Python and MATLAB bindings.

About

Left: correspondences generated by 3DSmoothNet (green and red lines represent the inlier and outlier correspondences according to the ground truth respectively). Right: alignment estimated by TEASER++ (green dots represent inliers found by TEASER++).

TEASER++ can solve the rigid body transformation problem between two point clouds in 3D. It performs well even if the input correspondences have an extremely large number of outliers. For a short conceptual introduction, check out our video. For more information, please refer to our papers:

TL;DR

Minimal C++ example

Run the following script to show a minimal C++ example:

sudo apt install cmake libeigen3-dev libboost-all-dev
git clone https://github.com/MIT-SPARK/TEASER-plusplus.git
cd TEASER-plusplus && mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd .. && cd examples/teaser_cpp_ply && mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
./teaser_cpp_ply

You should see terminal output like this:

	Read 1889 total vertices 
*** [pmc heuristic: thread 1]   current max clique = 577,  time = 0.00163579 sec
...
*** [pmc: thread 2]   current max clique = 602,  time = 0.44515 sec

brew install cmake
brew install boost
brew install eigen
git clone https://github.com/MIT-SPARK/TEASER-plusplus.git
cd TEASER-plusplus && mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
sudo make install

Minimal Python 3 example

Run the following script to show a minimal Python 3 example (needs Anaconda installed):

sudo apt install cmake libeigen3-dev libboost-all-dev
conda create -n teaser_test python=3.6 numpy
conda activate teaser_test
conda install -c open3d-admin open3d=0.9.0.0
git clone https://github.com/MIT-SPARK/TEASER-plusplus.git
cd TEASER-plusplus && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DTEASERPP_PYTHON_VERSION=3.6 .. && make teaserpp_python
cd python && pip install .
cd ../.. && cd examples/teaser_python_ply 
python teaser_python_ply.py

You should see output similar to this:

Reproduce the GIF Above

Run the following script:

sudo apt install cmake libeigen3-dev libboost-all-dev
conda create -n teaser_3dsmooth python=3.6 numpy
conda activate teaser_3dsmooth
conda install -c open3d-admin open3d=0.9.0.0
