  abstract = {An extension of our earlier work is proposed to find a non-linear
	aligning transformation between a pair of deformable 3D objects.
	The basic idea is to set up a system of nonlinear equations whose
	solution directly provides the parameters of the aligning transformation.
	Each equation is generated by integrating a nonlinear function over
	the object’s domains. Thus the number of equations is determined
	by the number of adopted nonlinear functions yielding a flexible
	mechanism to generate sufficiently many equations. While classical
	approaches would establish correspondences between the shapes, our
	method works without landmarks. Experiments with 3D polynomial and
	thin plate spline deformations confirm the performance of the framework.}
