This paper presents a comparative analysis of six prominent registration techniques for solving CAD model alignment problems. Unlike the typical approach of assessing registration algorithms with synthetic datasets, our study utilizes point clouds generated from the Cranfield benchmark. Point clouds are sampled from existing CAD models and 3D scans of physical objects, introducing real-world complexities such as noise and outliers. The acquired point cloud scans, including ground-truth transformations, are made publicly available. This dataset includes several cleaned-up scans of nine 3D-printed objects. Our main contribution lies in assessing the performance of three classical (GO-ICP, RANSAC, FGR) and three learning-based (PointNetLK, RPMNet, ROPNet) methods on real-world scans, using a wide range of metrics. These include recall, accuracy and computation time. Our comparison shows a high accuracy for GO-ICP, as well as PointNetLK, RANSAC and RPMNet combined with ICP refinement. However, apart from GO-ICP, all methods show a significant number of failure cases when applied to scans containing more noise or requiring larger transformations. FGR and RANSAC are among the quickest methods, while GO-ICP takes several seconds to solve. Finally, while learning-based methods demonstrate good performance and low computation times, they have difficulties in training and generalizing. Our results can aid novice researchers in the field in selecting a suitable registration method for their application, based on quantitative metrics. Furthermore, our code can be used by others to evaluate novel methods.
