trACT: temporal revelation Airborne Camera Trap
Oliver Bimber, Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Mohamed Youssef +3
Effective remote monitoring and surveillance using drones are frequently impeded by severe environmental and thermal clutter, dynamic vegetation, target camouflage, and system late…
How Robot Dogs See the Unseeable: Improving Visual Interpretability via Peering for Exploratory Robots
Oliver Bimber, Karl Dietrich von Ellenrieder, Michael Haller +6
In vegetated environments, such as forests, exploratory robots play a vital role in navigating complex, cluttered environments where human access is limited and traditional equipme…
Reciprocal Visibility
Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Sigrid Strand, Dmitriy Shutin +1
We propose a guidance strategy to optimize real-time synthetic aperture sampling for occlusion removal with drones by pre-scanned point-cloud data. Depth information can be used to…
Stereoscopic Depth Perception Through Foliage
Robert Kerschner, Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Rafal Mantiuk +1
Both humans and computational methods struggle to discriminate the depths of objects hidden beneath foliage. However, such discrimination becomes feasible when we combine computati…
Synthetic Aperture Anomaly Imaging
Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Oliver Bimber
Previous research has shown that in the presence of foliage occlusion, anomaly detection performs significantly better in integral images resulting from synthetic aperture imaging…
Synthetic Aperture Sensing for Occlusion Removal with Drone Swarms
Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Indrajit Kurmi, Oliver Bimber
We demonstrate how efficient autonomous drone swarms can be in detecting and tracking occluded targets in densely forested areas, such as lost people during search and rescue missi…
Inverse Airborne Optical Sectioning
Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Indrajit Kurmi, Oliver Bimber
We present Inverse Airborne Optical Sectioning (IAOS) an optical analogy to Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR). Moving targets, such as walking people, that are heavily occlud…
On the Role of Field of View for Occlusion Removal with Airborne Optical Sectioning
Francis Seits, Indrajit Kurmi, Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan +2
Occlusion caused by vegetation is an essential problem for remote sensing applications in areas, such as search and rescue, wildfire detection, wildlife observation, surveillance,…
Through-Foliage Tracking with Airborne Optical Sectioning
Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Indrajit Kurmi, David C. Schedl +1
Detecting and tracking moving targets through foliage is difficult, and for many cases even impossible in regular aerial images and videos. We present an initial light-weight and d…
