Point set registration (PSR) is an essential problem in communities of computer vision, medical robotics and biomedical engineering. This paper is motivated by considering the anisotropic characteristics of the error values in estimating both the positional and orientational vectors from the PSs to be registered. To do this, the multi-variate Gaussian and Kent distributions are utilized to model t...
