Abstract
We present a novel algorithm for estimating the rigid-body transformation of a sequence of coordinates, aiming at the application to protein structures. Basically the sequence is modeled as a hidden Markov model where each state outputs an ellipsoidal Gaussian. Since maximum likelihood estimation requires to solve a complicated optimization problem, we introduce a variational estimation technique, which performs singular value decomposition in each step. Our probabilistic algorithm allows to superimpose a number of sequences which are rotated and translated in arbitrary ways.
