Mapping Shapes with Scan Matching

Another application of the ICP algorithm is the mapping of arbitrary shapes into a scanned scene. For a given shape, the model set $ M$ is computed by calculating the closest points from an abstract description of the shape, e.g., a plane for mapping a wall, or a cuboid for mapping an office cubicle. Similar to minimizing the total error between two sets of points, the selected shape is being transformed (rotated & translated) in order match it into the given scene.
