A novel coal-rock recognition method in coal mining face based on fusing laser point cloud and images by Yang Liu, Lei Si, Zhongbin Wang, Miao Chen, Xin Li, Dong Wei, Jinheng Gu

“…Subsequently, the 2D target candidate box is calculated through the improved Mask R-CNN, and the frustum point cloud in the 2D target candidate box is extracted to reduce the calculation scale and spatial search range. Then, the self-attention PointNet is constructed to segment the fused point cloud within the frustum range, and the bounding box regression network is used to predict the bounding box parameters. …”
