Research on Multi-Scale Point Cloud Completion Method Based on Local Neighborhood Dynamic Fusion by Yalun Liu, Jiantao Sun, Ling Zhao

“…However, in the current 3D completion task, it is difficult to effectively extract the local details of an incomplete one, resulting in poor restoration of local details and low accuracy of the completed point clouds. To address this problem, this paper proposes a multi-scale point cloud completion method based on local neighborhood dynamic fusion (LNDF: adaptive aggregation of multi-scale local features through dynamic range and weight adjustment). …”

Winding Fault Detection in Power Transformers Based on Support Vector Machine and Discrete Wavelet Transform Approach by Bonginkosi A. Thango

“…Transformer winding faults (TWFs) can lead to insulation breakdown, internal short circuits, and catastrophic transformer failure. Due to their low current magnitude—particularly at early stages such as inter-turn short circuits, axial or radial displacement, or winding looseness—TWFs often induce minimal impedance changes and generate fault currents that remain within normal operating thresholds. …”
