6Combining several datasets into a global consistent model is usually performed
7using a technique called registration. The key idea is to identify
8corresponding points between the data sets and find a transformation that
9minimizes the distance (alignment error) between corresponding points. This
10process is repeated, since correspondence search is affected by the relative
11position and orientation of the data sets. Once the alignment errors fall below
12a given threshold, the registration is said to be complete.

15registration algorithms for both organized and unorganized (general purpose)
16datasets.
