Abstract: An intelligent understanding apparatus for real-time reconstruction of a large-scale scene light field includes the following. A data obtaining module obtains a 3D instance depth map, and obtain 3D voxels and voxel color information through simultaneous positioning and map generation. The model constructing module constructs and trains a real-time light field reconstruction network model using a ScanNet dataset. The real-time light field reconstruction network model extracts features of the 3D voxels and voxel color information, and obtain a semantic segmentation result and an instance segmentation result. The semantic segmentation module inputs the 3D voxel and voxel color information corresponding to the 3D instance depth map into the trained real-time light field reconstruction network model, and determine an output as a semantic segmentation result and an instance segmentation result corresponding to the 3D instance depth map.

Abstract: A method for processing three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data based on incremental sparse 3D convolution is provided. A computer device obtains 3D point cloud data and forms a training set by processing the 3D point cloud data. The computer device constructs and trains a sparse 3D convolutional network model by inputting the training set. The computer device constructs an incremental sparse 3D convolutional network model by performing incremental replacement of sparse convolutional layers of the trained sparse 3D convolutional network model. The computer device inputs real-time 3D point cloud data into the incremental sparse 3D convolutional network model, and determines an output result as a result of processing the real-time 3D point cloud data. Processing of the 3D point cloud data at least includes 3D semantic segmentation, target detection, 3D classification and video processing.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method learn an optimized interacting set of operational policies for implementation by multiple agents, where each agent is capable of learning an operational policy of the interacting set of operational policies. The system includes a first framework sub-system and a second framework sub-system. The first framework sub-system is configured modify one or both of reward functions and transition functions of a stochastic game undertaken by a plurality of agents in a simulated environment of the second framework sub-system; and update the reward and/or the transition functions based on feedback from the second framework sub-system. The system may generate policies that are capable of coping with deviations in the domains in which they are deployed and may perform alterations to the environment so as to induce optimal system outcomes.

Abstract: A multipurpose wire connection device includes a base plate, a conductive plate, a wire fixation screw, a fireproof box, a support, and a dustpan-shaped housing. The support is disposed on the base plate. The fireproof box includes a rear panel, a bottom panel, two side panels, and an inserted plate. The wire fixation screw is mounted on the conductive plate. The housing is fixed on the bottom plate by a housing fixing screw. The multipurpose wire connection device prevents sparking and red burning of a ground screw when lightning current passes therein, due to corroded contact in long-term exposure to wind and rain. It avoids fire and explosion accidents. It avoids screw corrosion and facilitates ground resistance measurement. The multipurpose wire connection device can also be used for electrical relay, division, and branching. It prevents fire, explosion, rain intrusion, and rust development. It is easy to disassemble.
