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…
Through-Foliage Surface-Temperature Reconstruction for Early Wildfire Detection
Mohamed Youssef, Lukas Brunner, Klaus Rundhammer +2
We present a method to reconstruct surface temperatures through forest vegetation by combining signal processing and machine learning, enabling fully automated aerial wildfire moni…
An aerial color image anomaly dataset for search missions in complex forested terrain
Rakesh John Amala Arokia Nathan, Matthias Gessner, Nurullah Özkan +6
After a family murder in rural Germany, authorities failed to locate the suspect in a vast forest despite a massive search. To aid the search, a research aircraft captured high-res…
DeepForest: Sensing Into Self-Occluding Volumes of Vegetation With Aerial Imaging
Mohamed Youssef, Jian Peng, Oliver Bimber
Access to below-canopy volumetric vegetation data is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics. We address the long-standing limitation of remote sensing to penetrate deep into…
