  • Patent number: 12217475
    Abstract: The provided is a stream processing-based non-blocking oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF (ORB) feature extraction accelerator implemented by a field programmable gate array (FPGA), which mainly includes two innovations: A stream processing-based non-blocking hardware architecture and a cache management algorithm are provided. The accelerator precisely controls and buffers each column of an rBRIEF descriptor computation window by using an algorithm, allowing to receive a new input pixel stream while computing a descriptor, thereby achieving non-blocking processing. An efficient hardware sorting design embedded in an accelerator is provided. Based on a count sorting algorithm, minimal resources are used to implement rBRIEF sorting on hardware, and the rBRIEF sorting is embedded in the accelerator. The accelerator ensures quality of a feature point while achieving high-speed feature point extraction, without significantly reducing accuracy of ORB_SLAM and other algorithms.

  • Publication number: 20220055914
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for preparing a flaky iron oxide. The flaky iron oxide is obtained through a vacuum coating machine. The vacuum coating machine includes a vacuum pump, a vacuum pipeline arrangement, a vacuum coating chamber, a flaky iron oxide supporting chamber and an electrical discharging gas inlet. High-energy particles generated by an iron oxide target are deposited on the surface of the conveying belt; and then the flaky iron oxide on a conveying belt is stripped and calcined to obtain the flaky iron oxide with bright color. By means of the method, vacuum sputtering time can be controlled to prepare the flaky iron oxide with various diameter-to-thickness ratios, and pollution caused by a traditional chemical deposition preparation method can be avoided. The preparation method is simple and environment-friendly. Due to the adoption of roller transmission, the production efficiency is improved.
