  • Patent number: 11535400
    Abstract: A fairing skin repair method based on measured wing data includes fairing skin registration. Data set P1 through denoising and filtering wing point cloud data is reorganized to obtain a key point set P. A histogram feature descriptor in a normal direction of any key point in set P and a skin point cloud data Q is calculated. Euclidean distance between feature descriptors of two points is calculated through K-nearest neighbor algorithm, and points with high similarity are added into a set M. A clustering is performed on set M using a Hough voting algorithm to obtain a local point cloud set P? in set P. The method includes fairing skin repair. The boundary line of the point frame is projected onto Q, and a distance between a projection line on the point cloud and the boundary line is calculated to obtain an amount of skin to be repaired.

  • Publication number: 20220366262
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for training a neural network model, A training sample is obtained, and the neural network model is trained using the training sample. When the neural network model is trained, power exponential domain fixed-point encoding is performed on a first activation inputted into each network layer and a network weight of each network layer, and an encoded first activation and an encoded network weight are power exponential domain fixed-point data, which when used in the operation, can cause a matrix multiplication operation involved to be converted into an addition operation in the power exponential domain by means of the power exponential domain encoding. The hardware resources required for the addition operation are significantly less than that required for the multiplication operation, which therefore can greatly reduce the hardware resource overhead required for running the neural network model.
