  • Publication number: 20230298296
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for multi-view point cloud registration for a whole aircraft based on a spherical harmonic feature (SHF). Gaussian sphere projection is mainly performed on a local point cloud. An SHF of each point is obtained by using a spherical harmonic transform technology. A constraint correspondence between feature points is found based on an SHF of each point in the point cloud. Multi-view point cloud data registration is performed according to an optimization graph method under a constraint of the SHF. A key of multi-view point cloud registration is to search for feature constraint relationships between different observation stations and perform non-linear solution based on these relationships, so as to obtain a pose parameter of a point cloud in each viewing angle.

  • Patent number: 11748919
    Abstract: A method of image reconstruction for a cross-modal communication system is disclosed. The method reconstructs a damaged, lost, or delayed image signal during transmission by using complete haptic signals received by a receiving end in the cross-modal communication system, and further constructs a cross-modal interaction network with reference to an attention mechanism, thus solving the limitation of the conventional generation model that it can only be trained on paired samples. An image reconstruction device for a cross-modal communication system is also disclosed. By fully utilizing semantic correlation between different-modality data and realizing cross-modal generation from haptic signals to image signals for unpaired data, the present invention overcomes the difficulty in acquiring haptic-image signal pairs in the practical cross-modal communication system, and significantly improves the quality and class accuracy of generated image signals.
