  • Tangent convolution for 3D data
    Patent number: 10572770
    Abstract: To address the needs of applications that work with large-scale unstructured point clouds and other noisy data (e.g. image and video data), tangent convolution of 3D data represents 3D data as tangent planes. Tangent convolution estimates tangent planes for each 3D data point in one or more channels of 3D data. Tangent convolution further computes the tangent image signals for the estimated tangent planes. Tangent convolution precomputes the tangent planes and tangent image signals to enable convolution to be performed with greater efficiency and better performance than can be achieved with other 3D data representations.
