  • Patent number: 11625454
    Abstract: A method and a device for 3D shape matching based on a local reference frame are proposed. After acquiring a 3D point cloud and feature points in the method, the feature point set is projected to a plane, and feature transformation is performed on the projected points by using at least one factor from the distances between the 3D points and the feature points, the distances between the 3D points and the projected points, and the average distances between the 3D points and its 1-ring neighboring points to acquire a point distribution with a larger variance in a certain direction than the projected point set, and the local reference frame is determined based on the transformed point distribution. The 3D local feature descriptor established based on this local reference frame can encode the 3D local surface information more robustly, so as to obtain a better 3D shape matching effect.

  • Publication number: 20230108757
    Abstract: To address loss of access to computing instances in a cloud computing environment, techniques are introduced for moving an application between computing instances in the cloud computing environment. A computing service captures baseline or delta snapshots of the state of the application running on a first computing instance. A baseline snapshot is indicative of the full state of the application, and a delta snapshot is indicative of changes in the state since a most recent snapshot was captured. Responsive to receiving an indication that the first computing instance is to stop servicing the application, the computing service stops the application from running on the first computing instance and moves data from the captured snapshots to a second computing instance. The computing service resume execution of the application on the second computing instances and captures snapshots of the state of the application at the second computing instance.

  • Publication number: 20230015645
    Abstract: A 3D shape matching method and a 3D shape matching device based on 3D local feature description using SGHs are provided. In the method, the spherical neighborhood of the feature point is not only divided based on space but also divided based on geometry, the spherical neighborhood of the feature point is not only divided based on the radial direction and the azimuth respectively but also divided based on the elevation, and the spherical neighborhood of the feature point is not only divided based on the deviation angle deviating from the z axis but also divided based on the deviation angle deviating from the x axis. When the deviation angle deviating from the z axis of the spherical neighborhood is divided, the deviation angle is divided more densely where it is closer to the positive direction of the z axis.
