EvMAPPER: High Altitude Orthomapping with Event Cameras
Fernando Cladera, Kenneth Chaney, M. Ani Hsieh +2
Traditionally, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) rely on CMOS-based cameras to collect images about the world below. One of the most successful applications of UAVs is to generate or…
AgriNeRF: Neural Radiance Fields for Agriculture in Challenging Lighting Conditions
Samarth Chopra, Fernando Cladera, Varun Murali +1
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have shown significant promise in 3D scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis. In agricultural settings, NeRFs can serve as digital twins, provi…
Spatio-Temporal Metric-Semantic Mapping for Persistent Orchard Monitoring: Method and Dataset
Jiuzhou Lei, Ankit Prabhu, Xu Liu +5
Monitoring orchards at the individual tree or fruit level throughout the growth season is crucial for plant phenotyping and horticultural resource optimization, such as chemical us…
Air-Ground Collaboration with SPOMP: Semantic Panoramic Online Mapping and Planning
Ian D. Miller, Fernando Cladera, Trey Smith +2
Mapping and navigation have gone hand-in-hand since long before robots existed. Maps are a key form of communication, allowing someone who has never been somewhere to nonetheless n…
Challenges and Opportunities for Large-Scale Exploration with Air-Ground Teams using Semantics
Fernando Cladera, Ian D. Miller, Zachary Ravichandran +5
One common and desirable application of robots is exploring potentially hazardous and unstructured environments. Air-ground collaboration offers a synergistic approach to addressin…
