DETECTING A CLOSED RING IN A 3D POINT CLOUD VIA CYCLE BASIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119563 titled 'DETECTING A CLOSED RING IN A 3D POINT CLOUD VIA CYCLE BASIS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to detecting a closed ring in a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud via cycle basis.

  • Filtering component eliminates edges longer than an adaptive threshold in the first undirected graph of the 3D point cloud to produce a second undirected graph.
  • Detection component determines a cycle path that can traverse an irregular annular shape represented by the 3D point cloud by detecting a minimum cycle basis of the second undirected graph.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields such as:

  • Robotics for object recognition and manipulation
  • Augmented reality for spatial mapping and tracking
  • Medical imaging for organ segmentation and analysis

Problems Solved

  • Efficient detection of closed rings in complex 3D point clouds
  • Accurate representation of irregular annular shapes
  • Improved analysis and understanding of 3D spatial data

Benefits

  • Enhanced accuracy in detecting closed rings
  • Increased efficiency in processing 3D point cloud data
  • Improved visualization and interpretation of complex shapes

Potential Commercial Applications

  • 3D scanning and modeling software
  • Geospatial mapping and surveying tools
  • Industrial automation and quality control systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of graph theory algorithms in image processing and computer vision applications to analyze shapes and structures in 2D and 3D data.

What are the specific adaptive thresholds used in filtering the first undirected graph?

The specific adaptive thresholds used in filtering the first undirected graph are not mentioned in the abstract. Further details may be provided in the full patent application document.

How does the detection component determine the minimum cycle basis of the second undirected graph?

The abstract does not elaborate on the specific method used by the detection component to determine the minimum cycle basis of the second undirected graph. More information on the algorithm or technique employed for this purpose would be needed from the detailed description in the patent application.
