Coverage Optimization for Camera View Selection
Timothy Chen, Adam Dai, Maximilian Adang +2
What makes a good viewpoint? The quality of the data used to learn 3D reconstructions is crucial for enabling efficient and accurate scene modeling. We study the active view select…
Semantic Segmentation and Depth Estimation for Real-Time Lunar Surface Mapping Using 3D Gaussian Splatting
Guillem Casadesus Vila, Adam Dai, Grace Gao
Navigation and mapping on the lunar surface require robust perception under challenging conditions, including poorly textured environments, high-contrast lighting, and limited comp…
Neural Radiance Maps for Extraterrestrial Navigation and Path Planning
Adam Dai, Shubh Gupta, Grace Gao
Autonomous vehicles such as the Mars rovers currently lead the vanguard of surface exploration on extraterrestrial planets and moons. In order to accelerate the pace of exploration…
Full Stack Navigation, Mapping, and Planning for the Lunar Autonomy Challenge
Adam Dai, Asta Wu, Keidai Iiyama +4
We present a modular, full-stack autonomy system for lunar surface navigation and mapping developed for the Lunar Autonomy Challenge. Operating in a GNSS-denied, visually challengi…
Visual SLAM with DEM Anchoring for Lunar Surface Navigation
Adam Dai, Guillem Casadesus Vila, Grace Gao
Future lunar missions will require autonomous rovers capable of traversing tens of kilometers across challenging terrain while maintaining accurate localization and producing globa…
