  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we proposed a method for semi-rigid changed 3D point clouds registration. We first segment the point clouds into individual segments and then the alignment energy costs of each segment are calculated. The rough initial transformation is estimated by minimizing the energy cost using integer programming. The final registration results are obtained by rigid alignments of separated corresponded segments. Experimental result with simulated point clouds demonstrate that the concept of semi-rigid registration works well.
