A Simulation Platform for Flapping-Wing Vehicles
Haichuan Li, Tomi Westerlund
Flapping-wing aerial vehicles (FWAVs) demonstrate remarkable agility but face substantial autonomy challenges due to their high sensitivity to aerodynamic disturbances and limited…
SAFEVPR: Patch-Based Conformal Verification for Safe Cross-Condition Sequence Visual Place Recognition
Ha Sier, Jiaqiang Zhang, Zhuo Zou +2
Sequence-based visual place recognition (VPR) for SLAM and robot relocalization must decide whether the retrieved top-1 candidate is safe to accept. Conformal prediction is a natur…
Riverine Land Cover Mapping through Semantic Segmentation of Multispectral Point Clouds
