Abstract:
A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and data structure provide the ability to extract a primitive quadric surface from point cloud data. Point cloud data is obtained in 3D space. The point cloud data is segmented to create a disjoined surface and a smooth surface segment based on spatial connectivity and surface smoothness. One or more shapes are extracted from the point cloud data using geometric fitting. The geometric fitting searches for one or more quadric surface parameters of a given type of model that provides a best agreement between selected points from the point cloud data and a resultant model.
Abstract:
A method, system, apparatus, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to reconstruct a pipe from point cloud data. Point cloud data is obtained. Primitive geometric shapes are detected in the point cloud data. A pipeline is determined by determining predecessor and successor primitive geometric shapes for each of the shapes. Diameters, coplanarity, and angles between the shapes are corrected. The shapes are connected and output.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture provide object descriptors for objects in point cloud data for an urban environment by segmenting the point cloud data. Point cloud data for an urban environment is obtained using a ground-based laser scanner. Terrain points are filtered out from the point cloud data using ground filtering. The point cloud data is then segmented into two or more blocks. Objects that lie on neighboring adjacent blocks are combined. Object descriptors for the combined objects are then provided (e.g., to the user or a program used by the user).

Abstract:
A generator includes a first member, a second member and a sliding mechanism. The first member includes a first electrode and a first dielectric layer affixed to the first electrode. The first dielectric layer includes a first material that has a first rating on a triboelectric series. The second member includes a second material that has a second rating on the triboelectric series that is different from the first rating. The second member includes a second electrode. The second member is disposed adjacent to the first dielectric layer so that the first dielectric layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The sliding mechanism is configured to cause relative movement between the first member and the second member, thereby generating an electric potential imbalance between the first electrode and the second electrode.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a transmission method and system for a Relay Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH). The method comprises the steps of: an eNB bearing downlink grant information of a relay node onto an available Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) symbol of a first slot of a pre-allocated Physical Resource Block (PRB) pair used for bearing the R-PDCCH, wherein available OFDM symbols in the PRB pair, other than the OFDM symbol used for the downlink grant information, are used for bearing a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) of each relay node; the eNB transmitting the PRB pair bearing the downlink grant information and the PDSCH to the relay node. The present invention is well applicable to a link between an eNB and a relay node, and meanwhile enables backhaul resources to be used adequately.
