Abstract
We present a new approach to the geometric alignment of a point cloud to a surface and to related registration problems. The standard algorithm is the familiar ICP algorithm. Here, we provide an alternative concept which relies on instantaneous kinematics and on the geometry of the squared distance function of a surface. The proposed algorithm exhibits faster convergence than ICP; this is supported both by results of a local convergence analysis and by experiments.
