Point cloud analysis has a wide range of applications in many areas such as computer vision, robotic manipulation, and autonomous driving. While deep learning has achieved remarkable success on image-based tasks, there are many unique challenges faced by deep neural networks in processing massive, unordered, irregular and noisy 3D points. To stimulate future research, this paper analyzes recent progress in deep learning methods employed for point cloud processing and presents challenges and potential directions to advance this field. It serves as a comprehensive review on two major tasks in 3D point cloud processing-namely, 3D shape classification and semantic segmentation.

Herbicide blanket application is widely practiced by farmers to chemically control weeds in the field, thereby enhancing productivity and improving crop quality. However, their repetitive use also has caused several negative issues on the environment and human health. To overcome these negative issues precision site-specific weed control can be used to reduce the herbicide application by targeted application on only weed areas. Hence, a robotic platform utilizing NVIDIA Jetson embedded device as control and processing unit was developed and tested on lab and field conditions for weed control. The average time taken for data acquisition and artificial intelligence-based computer vision tasks was tested under both lab and field conditions. Moreover, a grid map creation algorithm using YOLOv4 deep learning algorithm was evaluated to control the nozzles of the robotic platform. Integrating all these components together enabled real-time weed management approaches, enhancing the precision and efficiency of herbicide application Independent paired t-tests reveal that there is no significant difference in computational time between lab and field testing. Conversely, independent paired t-test revels that there is significant difference in image size between lab and field testing. The reduction of herbicide application based on grid map was obtained 79 to 80 %, which does not include YOLOv4 algorithm failure and system synchronization failure. The study suggests the importance of field testing for real-time applications of the robotic platform by using deep learning computer vision methods for weed control.

A system for determining the distance from the robot to the scene is useful for object tracking, and 3-D reconstructions may be desired for many manufacturing and robotic tasks. While the robot is processing materials, such as welding parts, milling, drilling, etc., fragments of materials fall on the camera installed on the robot, introducing unnecessary information when building a depth map, as well as the emergence of new lost areas, which leads to incorrect determination of the size of objects. There is a problem comprising a decrease in the accuracy of planning the movement trajectory caused by wrong sections on the depth map because of erroneous distance determination to objects. We present an approach combining defect detection and depth reconstruction algorithms. The first step for image defect detection is based on a convolutional auto-encoder (U-Net). The second step is a depth map reconstruction using a spatial reconstruction based on a geometric model with contour and texture analysis. We apply contour restoration and texture synthesis for image reconstruction. A method is proposed for restoring the boundaries of objects in an image based on constructing a composite curve by cubic splines. Our technique outperforms the state-of-the-art methods quantitatively in reconstruction accuracy on the RGB-D benchmark for evaluating manufacturing vision systems.

In the modern-day era of technology, a paradigm shift has been witnessed in the areas involving applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL). Specifically, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have emerged as a popular field of interest in most AI applications such as computer vision, image and video processing, robotics, etc. In the context of developed digital technologies and the availability of authentic data and data handling infrastructure, DNNs have been a credible choice for solving more complex real-life problems. The performance and accuracy of a DNN is a way better than human intelligence in certain situations. However, it is noteworthy that the DNN is computationally too cumbersome in terms of the resources and time to handle these computations. Furthermore, general-purpose architectures like CPUs have issues in handling such computationally intensive algorithms. Therefore, a lot of interest and efforts have been invested by the research fraternity in specialized hardware architectures such as Graphics processing Unit (GPU), Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), and Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Array (CGRA) in the context of effective implementation of computationally intensive algorithms. This paper brings forward the various research works on the development and deployment of DNNs using the aforementioned specialized hardware architectures and embedded AI accelerators. The review discusses the detailed description of the specialized hardware-based accelerators used in the training and/or inference of DNN. A comparative study based on factors like power, area, and throughput, is also made on the various accelerators discussed. Finally, future research and development directions, such as future trends in DNN implementation on specialized hardware accelerators, are discussed. This review article is intended to guide hardware architects to accelerate and improve the effe
