  • Patent number: 11651052
    Abstract: A method for extracting point cloud feature includes: obtaining an original point cloud, conducting hybrid scale voxelization on the original point cloud; generating point-wise hybrid scale voxel features by feature encoding the point cloud subjected to the hybrid scale voxelization; and generating pseudo image feature maps using aggregated features and projection scale information. In this way, problems that at a single voxel scale, the inference time is longer when the voxel scale is smaller, and the larger voxel fails to capture intricate features and accurate location of smaller objects can be effectively overcome.

  • Patent number: 11462029
    Abstract: An object detection network includes: a hybrid voxel feature extractor configured to acquire a raw point cloud, extract a hybrid scale voxel feature from the raw point cloud, and project the hybrid scale voxel feature to generate a pseudo-image feature map; a backbone network configured to perform a hybrid voxel scale feature fusion by using the pseudo-image feature map to generate multi-class pyramid features; and a detection head configured to predict a three-dimensional object box of a corresponding class according to the multi-class pyramid features. The object detection network can effectively solve a problem that under a single voxel scale, inference time is longer if the voxel scale is smaller, and an intricate feature cannot be captured and a smaller object cannot be accurately located if the voxel scale is larger. Different classes of 3D objects can be detected quickly and accurately in a 3D scene.

  • Patent number: 11380112
    Abstract: A method for encoding a point cloud feature includes: obtaining an original point cloud, generating point-wise hybrid scale voxel features by conducting hybrid scale voxelization on the original point cloud; generating voxel-wise attention features using spatial features and voxel features of points in a voxel at each voxel scale; aggregating the hybrid scale voxel features and the attention features to obtain voxel-wise projection scale information; and mapping the voxel-wise projection scale information to pseudo image features at projection scales. In this way, points can be retained during voxelization, and a feature encoding network is guided by the attention features to be more attentive to interrelationships between points in the voxels, thereby increasing accuracy of three-dimensional object detection.

  • Patent number: 9834287
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a floating platform, wherein multiple layers of compartments are configured along the height direction of the floating platform, and the center of gravity of each layer of compartments in a full-load process and a loading and unloading process is always located on a vertical line where the whole center of gravity of the floating platform is located; the multiple annular compartments are of equal-ratio subdivision in volume: the volume ratio of every two adjacent upper and lower annular compartments is inversely proportional to the density of liquid stored in the compartments; in the practical loading process, the floating platform is always kept at a constant displacement to maintain the waterplane unchanged by adjusting crude oil or seawater loaded in different layers of compartments, and thus the floating plate always has optimal hydrodynamic performance.
