Python implementation of the FOCUSR
FOCUSR = Feature Oriented Correspondence using Spectral Regularization and is described in [1].

Introduction / Background

This package will find correspondence between points on two surfaces using spectral coordinate information to regularize the surface matching. Non-rigid registration between surface points is conducted using Coherent Point Drift (CPD) as described in [2] and impelmented in CyCPD [3]. More recent versions/updated versions of this (spectral alignment/registration) algorithm were developed by the original authors [4], [5] but are not covered here.

Installation

It is recommended that installtion is performed in a new environment.

conda create --name focusr python=3.7

Examples

Jupyter notebook Example_registering_two_bone_meshes in /examples shows extended example with visualizations along the way. Some example steps include:

Spectral coordinates

Normalized spectral coordinates (eigenvectors) are calculated for each mesh. Below shows examples for the first 3 eigenvectors.

Eigen Vector 1 - Fiedler vector	Eigen Vector 2	Eigen Vector 3

Next, the spectral coordinates (eigenvectors) for each node of the mesh (shown above) are used as xyz positions and are aligned.

The following includes the meshes at various steps of the registration process as well as one mesh calculated as the average of the source & target.

Source Mesh	Target Mesh
Source Transformed to Target	Average Mesh
