  • Patent number: 11107277
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for constructing a 3D scene model are provided. The method includes: acquiring a first point cloud corresponding to a current target scene (S101); determining a first partial point cloud corresponding to a dynamic object from the first point cloud (S102); constructing a foreground 3D model based on the first partial point cloud (S103); and superimposing the foreground 3D model with a background 3D model to obtain a current 3D scene model (S104). As can be seen, it is not necessary to fuse each pixel acquired by each depth camera. Instead, the dynamic object is determined in the point cloud acquired by the depth camera. Only the foreground 3D model corresponding to the dynamic object is superimposed with the background 3D model corresponding to the static objects obtained in advance. This reduces the amount of computation to build a 3D scene model.

  • Patent number: 11037297
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image analysis method and apparatus, upon a program crash on a computing node, the central node may acquire the image analysis task that results in the crash, split the image analysis task into multiple image analysis sub-tasks, transmit sequentially the image analysis sub-tasks to the computing node until a program crash occurs thereon. The central node then acquires an error image analysis sub-task that results in the crash on the computing node, and discard the error image analysis sub-task. The image analysis method can discard only the crash resulting image from an image analysis task, while other images in the image analysis task are retained. As such, fewer images are lost, so that the duration of a frame loss during video playback can be reduced and the reliability of image analysis can be improved. The approach is applicable for image analysis.

  • Patent number: 11003367
    Abstract: Disclosed are data storage, data reading, and data cleaning methods and devices, and a cloud storage system. Storage blocks of storage nodes are grouped into resource pools. A method can include: for each resource pool, determining a first number of occupied storage blocks in the resource pool (S401); determining whether the first number meets a preset data cleaning condition (S402); if so, sending a data cleaning instruction to a storage node where each occupied second storage block in the resource pool is located, such that the storage node cleans the data stored on the second storage block in the storage node (S403). That is to say, the management node determines the number of occupied storage blocks of a resource pool. When the number meets a preset data cleaning condition, the data in the storage block is cleaned. Such a process is simple, reducing the workload of management node.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a method, apparatus, and electronic device for eliminating distortion of a distorted image. Side information components of a distorted image are generated. The distorted image is resulted from image processing on an original image. Side information components represent distortion features of the distorted image with respect to original image. Distorted image color components of the distorted image and the side information components are input into a pre-established convolutional neural network model for convolution filtering to obtain distortion-eliminated image color components. The convolutional neural network model is obtained through training based on a preset training set. The training set comprises original sample images, distorted image color components of multiple distorted images corresponding to each of the original sample images, and side information components of each of the distorted images.
