Nowadays, three dimensional point cloud processing plays a very important role in a wide range of areas: autonomous driving, robotics, cartography, etc. Three dimensional point cloud registration pipelines have high computational complexity, mainly because of the cost of point feature signature calculation. By selecting keypoints and using only them for registration, data points that are interesting in some way, one can significantly reduce the number of points for which feature signatures are needed, hence the running time of registration pipelines. Consequently, keypoint detectors have a prominent role in an efficient processing pipeline...
