    摘要: Fast near-lossless compression includes four steps: voxelization of the 3D geometry, decomposing the 3D voxel space into consecutive slices, encoding each slice with chain codes, and compressing the chain code with entropy coding. The decompression works by applying the aforementioned steps in inverse order. Smoothing over the voxels' centers is applied afterwards in order to reconstruct the input 3D points. Optionally 3D mesh is reconstructed over the approximate point cloud in order to obtain the original geometric object. The quality of the compression/decompression is controlled by resolution of the 3D voxel grid.

    摘要: The method and apparatus for increasing the efficiency of a low-temperature or high temperature heating system, comprising a primary heat releasing unit (i.e. cogeneration unit with fuel cell (FC) or internal combustion engine (ICE)) for co-generation of the heat and power, and at least one secondary heat releasing unit (i.e. heat pump (HP)) for utilization of at least one of the available waste/renewable energy heat sources (HS) from the ambient (A), where the heat generated by said heat pump is preferably used for preheating the heat transfer medium in the return line of the closed loop heating system, wherein a primary heat releasing unit is used to heat the heat transfer medium to the required temperature level of the heat distribution network. The apparatus according to the invention may comprise one or more heat pumps (HP) of the same or different types, and one or more primary heat releasing units in serial, parallel or cascade connection circuits.
