A fundamental problem that comes up in computer vision, image processing, manifold learning, and sensor networks is that of registering multiple point sets using rigid transforms. A standard result in this regard is that the least-square formulation of the registration problem admits a closed-form solution for two point sets. However, since the group of rigid transforms is not convex, solving the...
