Point Cloud Geometry Compression Based on Multi-Layer Residual Structure

Point cloud data are extensively used in various applications, such as autonomous driving and augmented reality since it can provide both detailed and realistic depictions of 3D scenes or objects. Meanwhile, 3D point clouds generally occupy a large amount of storage space that is a big burden for efficient communication. However, it is difficult to efficiently compress such sparse, disordered, non-uniform and high dimensional data. Therefore, this work proposes a novel deep-learning framework for point cloud geometric compression based on an autoencoder architecture. Specifically, a multi-layer residual module is designed on a sparse convolution-based autoencoders that progressively down-samples the input point clouds and reconstructs the point clouds in a hierarchically way. It effectively constrains the accuracy of the sampling process at the encoder side, which significantly preserves the feature information with a decrease in the data volume. Compared with the state-of-the-art geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC) schemes, our approach obtains more than 70–90% BD-Rate gain on an object point cloud dataset and achieves a better point cloud reconstruction quality. Additionally, compared to the state-of-the-art PCGCv2, we achieve an average gain of about 10% in BD-Rate.

基于邻域特征点提取和匹配的点云配准

为解决噪声干扰、数据丢失情况下迭代最近点算法的鲁棒性差、配准精度低等问题,提出一种基于邻域特征点提取和匹配的点云配准方法.首先定义一个由点的k邻域曲率、点与邻近点的法向量内积均值以及邻近点与邻域拟合平面的欧氏距离方差等三部分组成的邻域特征参数,结合在移动最小二乘表面构造的曲率特征参数对点云进行两次特征点提取;其次依据直方图特征定义三个匹配条件,并用双重约束获得正确的匹配点对;最后在配准阶段,采用双向构建k维树的迭代最近点算法实现精确配准.实验结果表明,该算法的配准精度较迭代最近点算法提高了90%以上,并且能够在噪声环境下有效地完成缺失点云的配准,在鲁棒性和精确配准方面有明显优势.     

Isentropic Compression of Deuterium by Quantum Molecular Dynamics

In this work we present our calculations of the compression isentrope of deuterium. We use an ab initio molecular dynamics approach to compute pressure and internal energy of dense deuterium in the range of temperatures 293–25000 K and densities 0.9–4.3 g/cm³. We then restore the isentrope and compare the results with experimental data and other theories. The position of the calculated isentrope slightly depends on the initial point and agrees with the low‐pressure part and the highest‐pressure point of the measurements. However, we do not observe the density jump registered experimentally at P ≈ 130 GPa (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Products of Random Matrices and Generalised Quantum Point Scatterers

To every product of 2×2 matrices, there corresponds a one-dimensional Schrödinger equation whose potential consists of generalised point scatterers. Products of random matrices are obtained by making these interactions and their positions random. We exhibit a simple one-dimensional quantum model corresponding to the most general product of matrices in SL(2,?). We use this correspondence to find new examples of products of random matrices for which the invariant measure can be expressed in simple analytical terms.     

Point Interactions in One Dimension and Holonomic Quantum Fields

We introduce and study a family of quantum fields, associated to δ-interactions in one dimension. These fields are analogous to holonomic quantum fields of Sato et al. in Holonomic quantum fields I–V (Publ. RIMS, Kyoto University, 14: 223–267, 1978; 15: 201–278, 1979; 15: 577–629, 1979; 15: 871-972, 1979; 16: 531–584, 1979). Corresponding field operators belong to an infinite-dimensional representation of the group in the Fock space of ordinary harmonic oscillator. We compute form factors of such fields and their correlation functions, which are related to the determinants of Schroedinger operators with a finite number of point interactions. It is also shown that these determinants coincide with tau functions, obtained through the trivialization of the det^*-bundle over a Grassmannian associated to a family of Schroedinger operators.     

Peltier Coefficient and Photon-Assisted Tunnelling in Quantum Point Contact

We present the Peltier coefficient and thermal transport in quantum point contact (QPC), under the influence of external fields and different temperatures. Also we obtain the oscillations of the Peltier coefficient in external fields. Numerical calculations of the Peltier coefficient are performed at different applied voltages, amplitudes and temperatures. The obtained results are consistent with the experimental data in the literature.     

A Novel Quantum Image Compression Method Based on JPEG

Quantum image processing has been a hot topic. The first step of it is to store an image into qubits, which is called quantum image preparation. Different quantum image representations may have different preparation methods. In this paper, we use GQIR (the generalized quantum image representation) to represent an image, and try to decrease the operations used in preparation, which is also known as quantum image compression. Our compression scheme is based on JPEG (named from its inventor: the Joint Photographic Experts Group) — the most widely used method for still image compression in classical computers. We input the quantized JPEG coefficients into qubits and then convert them into pixel values. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the compression ratio of our scheme is obviously higher than that of the previous compression method.     

Universal Approximation of Multi-copy States and Universal Quantum Lossless Data Compression

We have proven that there exists a quantum state approximating any multi-copy state universally when we measure the error by means of the normalized relative entropy. While the qubit case was proven by Krattenthaler and Slater (IEEE Trans. IT 46, 810–819 (2009)), the general case has been open for more than ten years. For a deeper analysis, we have solved the mini-max problem concerning ‘approximation error’ up to the second order. Furthermore, we have applied this result to quantum lossless data compression, and have constructed a universal quantum lossless data compression.

The Quantum Critical Point Revisited in CeIn 3

We report transport and calorimetric measurements at high pressure on CeIn 3 crystals grown from a flux of excess indium. This technique allows the growth of large crystals which are suitable for techniques which require large sample volumes. Measurements were carried out in a Bridgman cell which allowed pressures of up to 100 kbars to be reached. The results obtained for the antiferromagnetic and superconducting phase diagram are very similar to previous results obtained on small crystals and in hydrostatic cells. We also find a well defined Quantum Critical Point and Non Fermi-Liquid behaviour of the normal state resistivity. We report the first measurements of the upper critical field and of the specific heat at high pressure on this compound.

Effect of Quantum Point Contact Measurement on Electron Spin State in Quantum Dots

We study the time evolution of two electron spin states in a double quantum-dot system, which includes a nearby quantum point contact （QPC） as a measurement device. We find that the QPC measurement induced decoherence is in the microsecond timescale. We also find that the enhanced QPC measurement will trap the system in its initial spin states, which is consistent with the quantum Zeno effect.     

Quantum Gravity from the Point of View of Locally Covariant Quantum Field Theory

We construct perturbative quantum gravity in a generally covariant way. In particular our construction is background independent. It is based on the locally covariant approach to quantum field theory and the renormalized Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism. We do not touch the problem of nonrenormalizability and interpret the theory as an effective theory at large length scales.
