    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is a similarity calculation method considering multiple features for a multi-scale road network, which includes structural similarity calculation of skeleton lines and local feature similarity calculation of the multi-scale road network. A road network stroke is generated, skeleton lines of the road network are extracted and transformed into a structure tree, and the skeleton similarity of the road network is evaluated by calculating structural similarity of the structure tree of the multi-scale road network. Topological similarity of the multi-scale road network is calculated by using a difference matrix of a conceptual domain graph of road meshes, geometric similarity of the multi-scale road network is calculated by using a density of road meshes, and local similarity of the multi-scale road network is obtained by integrating the hierarchy of the road network into the topological and geometric similarity calculation in the form of matrices.

  • Publication number: 20250095357
    Abstract: A hardware accelerator comprises a PE array, an internal buffer unit, and a data scheduler. The data scheduler obtains multiple image lines from the internal buffer unit and schedules the PE array to sequentially perform MAC (multiply-accumulate) operations on the multiple image lines. There are overlapping pixel lines between adjacent image lines, and the overlapping pixel lines are subjected to MAC operations in both of their adjacent image lines to which they belong. During the MAC operations on each image line, the PEs of the PE array are scheduled to perform MAC operations in tiles on multiple tiles included in each image line. For adjacent tiles, the operation result of the overlapping portion between the previous tile and the subsequent tile is cached, and combined with the operation result of the non-overlapping portion of the subsequent tile to form the MAC operation result of the subsequent tile.

  • Patent number: 12234161
    Abstract: A kitchen waste wastewater treatment equipment includes a reaction kettle, a discharging mechanism and a pressurizing mechanism. In the process of high-temperature and high-pressure thermal hydrolysis of wastewater in the present disclosure, the pressurizing disk in the pressurizing mechanism continuously moves downwards in a vacuum state in the reaction kettle, reducing the volume in the reaction kettle and thus increasing the pressure. The secondary pressurization of wastewater is achieved while using heating for high-temperature and high-pressure, and the high-temperature and high-pressure environment greatly improves the reaction rate of thermal hydrolysis. The thermal hydrolysis reaction also generates gas for further pressurization, which greatly improves the treatment efficiency of wastewater. Moreover, the pressurizing mechanism and the exhaust annular groove can separate the gas generated after thermal hydrolysis.
