Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is, in performing three-dimensionalization of an object point cloud by a laser or a radar, to reduce an amount of calculation in the axial direction of three-dimensional space coordinates, into which the object point cloud is to be mapped, while increasing accuracy in the three-dimensionalization of the object point cloud. The present disclosure calculates an absolute value of a difference between vehicle attitude data with a high sampling frequency and vehicle attitude data with a low sampling frequency. When the absolute value of the difference is small, the vehicle attitude data with the high sampling frequency is decimated and the vehicle attitude data with the low sampling frequency is outputted, to thereby reduce the amount of calculation in the axial direction of the three-dimensional space coordinates, into which the object point cloud is to be mapped.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for manufacturing decorated-parts of high design-quality and reliability, since the exposed surface of the base coat-layer is not bulged, and thus the color of said coat-layer is distinct. The method for manufacturing decorated-parts of this invention comprises a base coat-layer-forming process, a surface coat-layer-forming process and a laser-decorating process. In the base coat-layer-forming process, a resin-base material of a highly light color at a lightness-level of 70 or more or a clear and colorless resin base-material is formed. In the surface coat-layer forming process, the surface coat-layer of a less-bright color at a lightness-level of 20 or less is formed on the base coat-layer. In the laser-decorating process, the first laser-processed groove penetrating the surface coat-layer and exposing partially the base coat-layer is made by irradiating the infrared laser onto such surface coat-layer, thus providing a fine decoration onto the surface of said decorated-part.
