  • Patent number: 11748945
    Abstract: Disclosed is an encoding and decoding system and associated methods for producing a compressed waveform that encodes data points of a point cloud in a format and size that may be transmitted over a data network, decompressed, decoded, and rendered on a remote device without the buffering or lag associated with transmitting and rendering an uncompressed point cloud. The encoder receives a request from a remote device to access the point cloud, encodes a set of data points from the point cloud as one or more signals derived from values defined for the positional and non-positional elements of each data point from the set of data points, generates one or more compressed waveforms from compressing the one or more signals and transmits the one or more compressed waveforms to the remote device in response to the request for decompression, decoding, and image rendering.

  • Patent number: 11670052
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for generating a mutable tree to efficiently access data within a three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) environment. The system generates the mutable tree with a root node defined at a root node position, a first branch with nodes for each of a first set of subdivided regions that are a first distance from the root node position, and a second branch with nodes for each of a second set of subdivided regions that are a second distance from the root node position. The system sorts the mutable tree in response to a request to access data from a first position within the 3D environment so that the first node in the first branch is the first subtree node that is closest to the first position, and the first node in the second branch is the second subtree node that is closest to the first position.

  • Publication number: 20230083161
    Abstract: A computing architecture providing for rapid analysis and control of an environment via edge computing nodes is disclosed. Input data streams may be captured via one or more data stream independent CPU threads and prepared for processing by one or more machine learning models. The machine learning models may be trained according to different use cases to facilitate a multi-faceted and comprehensive analysis of the input data. The evaluation of the input data against the machine learning models may be facilitated via independent GPU threads (e.g., one thread per model or use case) and the outputs of the models may be evaluated using control logic to produce a set of outcomes and control data.
