Polarization imaging provides physical cues beyond intensity imaging but typically requires specialized hardware. Recent methods infer polarization from RGB-like inputs, yet predict only normalized Stokes components or relative descriptors, from which the radiometric scale needed for full Stokes reconstruction has been …
Agile quadrotor avoidance of fast-moving obstacles requires anticipating collisions and selecting feasible maneuvers within short reaction windows. Reliable predictive avoidance remains challenging because sparse range observations do not directly reveal obstacle motion, while online trajectory optimizers either scale …
Autonomous nano-UAV navigation requires accurate ego-motion estimation under stringent size, weight, power, and computing (SWaP-C) constraints, where visual sensors and LiDARs exceed payload limits, optical flow degrades in low-texture scenes, and inertial-only state estimation is susceptible to accumulated drift. Whil …
