Comparison of LZD and ICP Algorithms in DEM Matching without Control Points
To select an appropriate algorithm for DEM matching
this paper reviews the development of the two popular 3D surface matching algorithms
least z-difference(LZD) and iterative closest point(ICP)
and describes their common logical framework.Then the two algorithms are evaluated qualitatively through theoretic analysis.Finally
the quantitative comparison is performed by a set of tests.The experimental results show that the computational efficiency of LZD is about 9 times higher than ICP.But its pull-in range is slight smaller
and its iterative convergence rate is about 1 time slower than ICP.However
the closer the two DEM are
the faster LZD converges.Therefore
LZD is more appropriate for DEM matching with small pose different.
