TIDES: Time-Derivative Event Simulation via Deformable Reconstruction
Christopher Thirgood, Dipon Kumar Ghosh, Simon Hadfield
Event cameras emit asynchronous events in response to environmental appearance changes. The scarcity of real-world event datasets makes simulation essential. However, most simulato…
FeatureSLAM: Feature-enriched 3D gaussian splatting SLAM in real time
Christopher Thirgood, Oscar Mendez, Erin Ling +2
We present a real-time tracking SLAM system that unifies efficient camera tracking with photorealistic feature-enriched mapping using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Our main contrib…
HYDRA: HYbrid knowledge Distillation and spectral Reconstruction Algorithm for high channel hyperspectral camera applications
Christopher Thirgood, Oscar Mendez, Erin Ling +2
Hyperspectral images (HSI) promise to support a range of new applications in computer vision. Recent research has explored the feasibility of generalizable Spectral Reconstruction…
HyperGS: Hyperspectral 3D Gaussian Splatting
Christopher Thirgood, Oscar Mendez, Erin Chao Ling +2
We introduce HyperGS, a novel framework for Hyperspectral Novel View Synthesis (HNVS), based on a new latent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technique. Our approach enables simultaneo…
RaSpectLoc: RAman SPECTroscopy-dependent robot LOCalisation
Christopher Thomas Thirgood, Oscar Alejandro Mendez Maldonado, Chao Ling +2
This paper presents a new information source for supporting robot localisation: material composition. The proposed method complements the existing visual, structural, and semantic…
