Abstract: Method (300) for registration of two or more of frames of three dimensional (3D) point cloud data (200-i, 200-j). A density image for each of the first frame (frame i) and the second frame (frame j) is used to obtain the translation between the images and thus image-to-image point correspondence. Correspondence for each adjacent frame is determined using correlation of the 'filtered density' images. The translation vector or vectors are used to perform a coarse registration of the 3D  point cloud data in one or more of the XY plane and the Z direction.  The method also includes a fine registration process applied to the 3D  point cloud data (200-i, 200-j). Corresponding transformations between frames (not just adjacent frames) are accumulated and used in a 'global' optimization routine that seeks to find the best translation, rotation, and scale parameters that satisfy all frame displacements.

Abstract: The method for manufacturing an article having a surface, a skin, and a core includes closing a first mold portion on a compressible seal. The seal is disposed between the first and second mold portions. The portions define a pressurizable mold cavity having a spaced apart injection port and a vent. The mold cavity is pressurized at a first pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. Molten plastic and a blowing agent are injected form gas cells within the mixture. The gas cells have an internal pressure exceeding the first pressure. After waiting for a first period, the pressurizing gas is vented for a second period at a rate sufficient to rupture the gas cells which form a skin adjacent to the mold cavity wall. The skin defines a core cavity filled with the foamed mix-ture, which is solidified. The mold portions are separated releasing the article.
