Unsupervised Point Cloud Registration via Training-Time Semantic Guidance

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

Unsupervised registration of large-scale LiDAR point clouds remains challenging due to the geometric ambiguity inherent in outdoor scenes, which degrades pseudo-label quality and leads to suboptimal convergence, particularly for sparse, low-resolution scans such as those from nuScenes. We reveal that registration models intrinsically encode semantic awareness that strongly correlates with registration accuracy, albeit without explicit semantic supervision. However, this native awareness is fragile: noisy supervision arising from geometric ambiguity in unsupervised settings rapidly erodes the l
