摘要:
Described is a system for filtering, segmenting and recognizing objects. The system receives a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud having a plurality of data points in 3D space and down-samples the 3D point cloud to generate a down-sampled 3D point cloud with reduced data points in the 3D space. A ground plane is then identified and removed, leaving above-ground data points in the down-sampled 3D point cloud. The above-ground data points are clustered to generate a plurality of 3D blobs, each of the 3D blobs having a cluster size. The 3D blobs are filtered based on cluster size to generate a set of 3D candidate blobs. Features are extracted from each 3D candidate blob. Finally, at least one of the 3D candidate blobs is classified as a pre-defined object class based on the extracted features.
摘要:
Described is a system for discovering user interests through online social media, and more specifically, to a way of doing so by means of a bi-directional graph model. During operation, the system generates a confidence matrix F based on user interactions and co-occurring tags on a social media platform. The confidence matrix F indicates a likelihood of the users in the social media platform as being interested in a particular topic. Based on such likelihoods, an action can be initiated regarding a particular topic for those users whose likelihood of being interested in the particular topic exceeds a predetermined threshold. For example, the system generates and presents an online advertisement to users regarding a particular topic to those users whose likelihood of being interested in the particular topic exceeds a predetermined threshold.
