StructRegistration is a 3D point cloud registration method utilizing the EM algorithm with structural regularity. In particular, we proposed an improved E step which leverages the structural regularity to refine the probabilistic data association. Besides, unlike the existing point cloud registration approaches using structural information, we proposed to cluster coplanar points by associating the point set with degraded GMM, such that the time-consuming processes of plane segmentation and correspondence searching are efficiently replaced.

We have tested the library in Ubuntu 16.04, but it should be easy to compile in other platforms. A powerful computer (e.g. i7) will ensure real-time performance and provide more stable and accurate results.
