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…
Vision-Reasoning-Guided Occlusion Removal from Light Fields
Mohamed Youssef, Oliver Bimber
Occlusion-robust scene recovery remains a major challenge in computational imaging, particularly where dense vegetation severely limits visibility. We propose a visionreasoning-gui…
Ontology-Guided Diffusion for Zero-Shot Visual Sim2Real Transfer
Mohamed Youssef, Mayar Elfares, Anna-Maria Meer +2
Bridging the simulation-to-reality (sim2real) gap remains challenging as labelled real-world data is scarce. Existing diffusion-based approaches rely on unstructured prompts or sta…
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…
