Abstract: A normal distributions transform (NDT) method for LiDAR point cloud localization in unmanned driving is provided. The method proposes a non-recursive, memory-efficient data structure occupation-aware-voxel-structure (OAVS), which speeds up each search operation. Compared with a tree-based structure, the proposed data structure OAVS is easy to parallelize and consumes only about 1/10 of memory. Based on the data structure OAVS, the method proposes a semantic-assisted OAVS-based (SEO)-NDT algorithm, which significantly reduces the number of search operations, redefines a parameter affecting the number of search operations, and removes a redundant search operation. In addition, the method proposes a streaming field-programmable gate array (FPGA) accelerator architecture, which further improves the real-time and energy-saving performance of the SEO-NDT algorithm. The method meets the real-time and high-precision requirements of smart vehicles for three-dimensional (3D) lidar localization.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a vertical column of wire bonds on substrate contact fingers of the device. Semiconductor dies are mounted on a substrate, and electrically coupled to the substrate such that groups of semiconductor dies may have bond wires extending to the same contact finger on the substrate. By bonding those wires to the contact finger in a vertical column, as opposed to separate, side-by-side wire bonds on the contact finger, an area of the contact finger may be reduced.
