Hand Trajectory Fusion for Egocentric Natural Language Query Grounding

Enmin Zhong, Carlos R. del-Blanco, Fernando Jaureguizar +1

Egocentric Natural Language Query (NLQ) grounding asks a model to localize, in a long first-person video, the temporal interval that answers a free-form text query. Existing method…

NaviFormer: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Transformer-like Model to Holistically Solve the Navigation Problem

Daniel Fuertes, Andrea Cavallaro, Carlos R. del-Blanco +2

Path planning is usually solved by addressing either the (high-level) route planning problem (waypoint sequencing to achieve the final goal) or the (low-level) path planning proble…

Multi-stage Planning for Multi-target Surveillance using Aircrafts Equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radars Aware of Target Visibility

Daniel Fuertes, Carlos R. del-Blanco, Fernando Jaureguizar +2

Generating trajectories for synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-equipped aircraft poses significant challenges due to terrain constraints, and the need for straight-flight segments to e…
