Convergence of a Proximal Point Algorithm for Solving . Solomon and Wang's second paper demonstrates a new registration algorithm called "Deep Closest Point" (DCP) that was shown to better find a point cloud's distinguishing patterns, points, and edges (known as "local features") in order to align it with other point clouds. However, its limitation is the fact that the depth camera must be parallel to the ground which is not the case with most real-world applications. Point clouds are generally produced by 3D scanners or by photogrammetry software, which measure many points on the external surfaces of objects around them. Point cloud registration is the process of converting point cloud data in two or more camera coordinate systems to the world coordinate system to complete the stitching process. (2020).
