Deep point cloud registration methods face challenges to partial overlaps and rely on labeled data To address these issues we propose UDPReg an unsupervised deep probabilistic registration framework for point clouds with partial overlaps Specifically we first adopt a network to learn posterior probability distributions of Gaussian mixture models GMMs from point clouds To handle partial point cloud registration we apply the Sinkhorn algorithm to predict the distribution level correspondences under the constraint of the mixing weights of GMMs To enable unsupervised learning we design three distribution consistency based losses self consistency cross consistency and local contrastive The self consistency loss is formulated by encouraging GMMs in Euclidean and feature spaces to share identical posterior distributions The cross consistency loss derives from the fact that the points of two partially overlapping point clouds belonging to the same clusters share the cluster centroids The cross consistency loss allows the network to flexibly learn a transformation invariant posterior distribution of two aligned point clouds The local contrastive loss facilitates the network to extract discriminative local features Our UDPReg achieves competitive performance on the 3DMatch 3DLoMatch and ModelNet ModelLoNet benchmarks
