Problem of surface registration can be analyzed as an optimization problem of seeking an Euclidean motion between two different views. Genetic algorithms have proven to be a suitable method for solving optimization problems and can be used for obtaining robust parameter estimation as well as for their fine-tuning. Their main drawback is that they are time consuming which makes them unsuitable for online applications. Modern acquisition systems enable the implementation of solutions that would immediately give information on the rotational angles between the different views, thus reducing the dimension of the optimization problem. The paper gives an analysis of the genetic algorithm implemented in the conditions when the rotation matrix is known and comparison of these solutions with solutions when this information is not available.}, doi = {10.20532/ccvw.2013.0013}, url = {https://doi.org/10.20532/ccvw.2013.0013} }
