A 3DGS-Driven Dynamic Viewpoint and Vibrotactile Framework for Subsea Teleoperation Validated via fNIRS
Fang Xu, Tianyu Zhou, Ruitong Tian +2
Teleoperating remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in flooded, cluttered infrastructure is fundamentally limited by narrow 2D egocentric views and subsea communication latency. We pre…
HiRQA: Hierarchical Ranking and Quality Alignment for Opinion-Unaware Image Quality Assessment
Vaishnav Ramesh, Haining Wang, Md Jahidul Islam
Despite significant progress in no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA), dataset biases and reliance on subjective labels continue to hinder their generalization performance…
Active Localization of Close-range Adversarial Acoustic Sources for Underwater Data Center Surveillance
Adnan Abdullah, David Blow, Sara Rampazzi +1
Underwater data infrastructures offer natural cooling and enhanced physical security compared to terrestrial facilities, but their storage systems remain susceptible to acoustic in…
EgoExo++: Integrating On-demand Exocentric Visuals with 2.5D Ground Surface Estimation for Interactive Teleoperation of Underwater ROVs
Adnan Abdullah, Ruo Chen, Ioannis Rekleitis +1
Underwater ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) are indispensable for subsea exploration and task execution, yet typical teleoperation engines based on egocentric (first-person) video…
NemeSys: Toward Online Underwater Exploration with Remote Operator-in-the-loop Adaptive Autonomy
Adnan Abdullah, Alankrit Gupta, Vaishnav Ramesh +2
Adaptive mission control and dynamic parameter reconfiguration are essential for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating in GPS-denied, communication-limited marine environ…
UStyle: Waterbody Style Transfer of Underwater Scenes by Depth-Guided Feature Synthesis
Md Abu Bakr Siddique, Vaishnav Ramesh, Junliang Liu +2
The concept of waterbody style transfer remains largely unexplored in the underwater imaging and vision literature. Traditional image style transfer (STx) methods primarily focus o…
