  • Patent number: 11845573
    Abstract: Provided is a configuration construction and attitude control method for a pyramid deorbit sail. By taking into consideration environmental perturbation like atmospheric resistance perturbation and non-spherical earth perturbation, a dynamics model featuring three-dimensional orbit-and-attitude coupling based on position vectors and quaternion descriptions, the deorbit sail is taken as a rigid body, a spacecraft body is taken as a mass point, airflow obstruction is considered in the windward area, thereby improving the precision of the dynamics model; based on this model, the law of influence of the configuration parameters in the deorbit sail, such as a cone angle and a strut length, on the attitude stability and deorbiting efficiency of the spacecraft in different cases is analyzed, the configuration parameters of the pyramid deorbit sail system are analyzed and optimized according to the derived law, so as to obtain a pyramid deorbit sail achieving high attitude stability and high deorbiting efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11487442
    Abstract: A data storage interface provides access to data storage clusters that may not otherwise be accessible to data accessors. The data storage interface can serve as a point of access for data accessors to access stored data via a consistent data access protocol, even when a data storage cluster on which requested data is stored may use a different protocol. The data storage interface can also provide access across network boundaries, such as those between different private cloud computing systems (e.g., virtual private clouds or “VPCs”).

  • Patent number: 11347979
    Abstract: A method and a device for MCMC framework-based sub-hypergraph matching are provided. Matching of object features is performed by constructing sub-hypergraphs. In a large number of actual images and videos, objects vary constantly, and contain various noise points as well as other interference factors, which makes image object matching and searching very difficult. Perform object feature matching by representing the appearance and positions of objects by sub-hypergraphs allows for faster and more accurate image matching. Furthermore, a sub-hypergraph has several advantages over a graph or a hypergraph: on one hand, a sub-hypergraph has more geometric information (e.g. angle transformation, rotation, scale, etc.) than a graph, and has a lower degree of difficulty and better extensibility than a hypergraph. On the other hand, the disclosed method and device have stronger capabilities to resist interference and good robustness, and are adaptable to more complex settings, especially with outliers.

  • Patent number: 10699156
    Abstract: A method for image matching includes acquiring a template image and a target image; acquiring a group of template features according to the template image; extracting a group of target features according to the target image; and according to template features and target features, calculating an degree of image similarity between the template image and each frame of target images, and using a target image with the maximum degree of image similarity as a matched image to the template image. In the image-matching method, image matching is performed by calculating an degree of image similarity between a template image and each target image according to a degree of image similarity between template features and target features, so that non-redundancy of features in an image matching process and correct image matching can be guaranteed, and the image matching accuracy can be improved.
