ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,387,470, issued on Aug. 12, was assigned to TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY (Beijing).

"Three-dimensional point cloud data processing method and device based on incremental sparse three-dimensional convolution" was invented by Lu Fang (Beijing), Leyao Liu (Beijing) and Tian Zheng (Beijing).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for processing three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data based on incremental sparse 3D convolution is provided. A computer device obtains 3D point cloud data and forms a training set by processing the 3D point cloud data. The computer device constructs and trains a sparse 3D convolutional network model by inputting the trainin...
