  • Patent number: 12223698
    Abstract: A method for searching a path by using a 3D reconstructed map includes: receiving 3D point-cloud map information and 3D material map information; clustering the 3D point-cloud map information with a clustering algorithm to obtain clustering information, and identifying material attributes of objects in the 3D point-cloud map information with a material neural network model to obtain material attribute information; fusing the those map information based on their coordinate information, thereby outputting fused map information; identifying obstacle areas and non-obstacle areas in the fused map information based on an obstacle neural network model, the clustering information, and the material attribute information; and generating 3D path information according to the non-obstacle areas. Since the 3D path information is generated based on those map information, the obstacle areas and flight spaces are effectively determined to generate an accurate flight path.

  • Publication number: 20240201378
    Abstract: The invention provides a real-time control and navigation system for watercrafts environmental risk, which has a processor, a 3D radar, an inertial sensor and a global positioning system (GPS) configured on the watercrafts. The 3D cloud point detected by the lidar sensor is converted into a 2D point cloud, the processor converts the coordinates of the 2D point cloud according to the GPS, and the image algorithm calculates the position of the obstacle according to the real-time condition of the watercrafts detected by the inertial sensor, and then navigate the path of the watercrafts. The present invention can improve the position accuracy of the obstacles on the water, and the path navigation also improves the safety of the route by considering the required margin for the running of the watercrafts itself.
