Establishing reliable correspondences between a pair of point clouds is essential for registration with partial overlaps. However, existing correspondence estimation works usually struggle to distinguish the points in overlap and non-overlap regions. This paper thus proposes an Overlap-guided Coarse-to-Fine Network, named OCFNet, which first establishes correspondences at a coarse level and then refines them at a point level. Specifically, at the coarse level, our model first aggregates two point clouds into smaller sets of super-points with associated features and overlap scores, followed by establishing coarse-level correspondences between the two sets of super-points under the guidance of overlap scores. On the fine stage, a decoder recovers the raw points while jointly learning the associated features and overlap scores. Coarse-level proposals are then expanded to patches, and point-level correspondences are sequentially refined from the corresponding patches. We conducted comprehensive experiments on 3DMatch, 3DLoMatch, and KITTI benchmarks to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. [code]
