Generalizable active mapping in complex unknown environments remains a critical challenge for mobile robots. Existing methods, constrained by insufficient training data and conservative exploration ...

Abstract: Implicit Neural Representation (INR)-based SLAM has a critical issue where all keyframes must be stored in memory for post-training whenever a remapping is needed due to the neural network's ...

DJI has quietly rolled out a new firmware update for the Mini 5 Pro, bringing a trio of improvements aimed at safety, stability and day-to-day usability for pilots of the popular sub-250 g drone. The ...

Scientists have produced the most detailed 3D map of almost all buildings in the world. The map, called GlobalBuildingAtlas, combines satellite imagery and machine learning to generate 3D models for ...

Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) are helping reshape how scientists study the sun. The UH-led team has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can ...

WASHINGTON – By allowing Texas Republicans to redraw the state’s congressional map, the Supreme Court has kickstarted a nationwide partisan arms race over who holds a critical level of power in ...

Abstract: In extended reality (XR) applications, enhancing user perception often necessitates head-mounted display (HMD) removal. However, existing methods suffer from low time performance and ...

With the GlobalBuildingAtlas, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has created the first high-resolution 3D map of all buildings worldwide. The open data provides a crucial ...

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has shown impressive results in real-time novel view synthesis. However, it often struggles under sparse-view settings, producing undesirable artifacts such as floaters, ...
