DiffVAS: Diffusion-Guided Visual Active Search in Partially Observable Environments
Anindya Sarkar, Srikumar Sastry, Aleksis Pirinen +2
Visual active search (VAS) has been introduced as a modeling framework that leverages visual cues to direct aerial (e.g., UAV-based) exploration and pinpoint areas of interest with…
Adapting Actively on the Fly: Relevance-Guided Online Meta-Learning with Latent Concepts for Geospatial Discovery
Jowaria Khan, Anindya Sarkar, Yevgeniy Vorobeychik +1
In environmental monitoring, data collection is often costly, sparse, and shaped by urgent public-health needs. This is particularly true for cancer-causing PFAS (Per- and polyfluo…
GOMAA-Geo: GOal Modality Agnostic Active Geo-localization
Anindya Sarkar, Srikumar Sastry, Aleksis Pirinen +3
We consider the task of active geo-localization (AGL) in which an agent uses a sequence of visual cues observed during aerial navigation to find a target specified through multiple…
A Visual Active Search Framework for Geospatial Exploration
Anindya Sarkar, Michael Lanier, Scott Alfeld +4
Many problems can be viewed as forms of geospatial search aided by aerial imagery, with examples ranging from detecting poaching activity to human trafficking. We model this class…
