Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate rigid point cloud registration with characteristics including shape constraint, translation proportional to distance and spatial point-set distribution model for handling scale. The method of the present disclosure enables registration of a rigid template point cloud to a given reference point cloud. Shape-constrained gravitation, as induced by the reference point cloud, controls movement of the template point cloud such that at each iteration, the template point cloud better aligns with the reference point cloud in terms of shape. This enables alignment in difficult conditions introduced by change such as presence of outliers and/or missing parts, translation, rotation and scaling. Also, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide an automated method as against conventional methods that depended on manually adjusted parameters.
