Take a look at a map today, and you might think North America is larger than Africa or Greenland is larger than Mexico and China. But that's not true in the slightest. The issue derives from trying to ...
For thousands of years, humans have tried to understand the land around them. Today, we open an app and instantly see roads, rivers, and elevations. But long before screens or paper existed, people ...
Abstract: Three-dimensional Light Detection and Ranging (3D LiDAR) sensors are widely used in autonomous vehicles including localization, sensing, and mapping. However, their significant computational ...
Abstract: Radio maps (RMs) serve as a critical foundation for enabling environment-aware wireless communication, as they provide the spatial distribution of wireless channel characteristics. Despite ...
A new device developed by Chinese researchers enables high-definition, 3D surface modeling for both land and water, supporting environmental monitoring and resource surveying in complex landscapes.
MapAnything is an open-source research framework for universal metric 3D reconstruction. At its core is a simple, end-to-end trained transformer model that directly regresses the factored metric 3D ...
A method for generating the next-best-path for efficient active mapping, along with a new benchmark tailored for complex indoor environments. NextBestPath (NBP) is a novel method for next-best-path ...
