Title: Incremental dense 3-D mapping with semantics
Inventor: ALEXANDER VAKHITOV
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2021-09-02
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for incremental dense mapping with semantics in 3-D, is provided. The method comprises obtaining a 2-D image of the 3-D environment, along with an associated depth map. Pose information is obtained, which relates the viewpoint of the 2-D image and depth map to the reference frame of an existing 3-D semantic map. The existing 3-D map is sampled at the 3-D points corresponding to the pixels in the depth map, to retrieve a class label image containing semantic class labels and a segment ID image containing segment IDs. Geometric segmentation of the depth map is performed, taking into account the segment ID image extracted from the existing 3-D map. The 2-D image is also segmented, taking into account the class label image extracted from the existing 3-D map. The segment IDs and semantic class labels in the 3-D map are updated based on the results of the geometric segmentation and the segmentation of the 2-D image.

Title: Distributed energy infrastructure and method
Inventor: ADRIAN REASON
IPC: G06Q50/06
Filed: 2021-10-29
Abstract: The invention concerns a distributed energy infrastructure, method of carrying out a transaction for supply of energy, and a method for determining the level of function of an asset for supply of energy. Transactions are performed in a distributed energy infrastructure comprising energy generating and consuming endpoints, and optionally an energy market endpoint. Data is exchanged between endpoints and the transaction is verified and recorded in a non-blockchain distributed ledger, for example a private ledger. A transaction is verified using settlement information and a smart contract. Endpoints are messaged to accept, by majority, the transaction as verified. A level of function of an energy asset is determined by comparing an output specification of the asset, or an output specification modified based on an external condition, with logged units of energy supplied according to transactions.
