Wind-Topo: Downscaling near-surface wind fields to high-resolution topography in highly complex terrain with deep learning

Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin

Predicting wind flow in highly complex terrain like the Alps is a challenge for all models. When physical processes need to be resolved in a spatially explicit manner, grids with high horizontal resolution of a few hundred meters are often required and dra ...

Assessment of VDM-based autonomous navigation of a UAV under operational conditions

Jan Skaloud, Mehran Khaghani

This paper presents extensions and practical realization of a previously proposed novel approach to navigation and sensor integration for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The proposed approach employs vehicle dynamic model (VDM) as process model withi ...

Miniature artificial compound eyes for optic-flow-based robotic navigation

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Julien Jean Denis Nicolas Lecoeur, Gerard Bahi Vila

Miniature curved artificial compound eyes (CURVACE) represent a promising tool to assist in navigation of mobile robots. In particular, they feature ideal properties for minidrones to navigate safely in indoor environments due to its panoramic field of vie ...

Learning search polices from humans in a partially observable context

Aude Billard, Guillaume Pierre Luc De Chambrier

Decision making and planning for which the state information is only partially available is a problem faced by all forms of intelligent entities they being either virtual, synthetic or biological. The standard approach to mathematically solve such a decisi ...

Organ Surface Markerless Tracking

Coralie Reissner

Today’s surgical navigation systems are difficult to use for deformable organs. State of the art technology struggles to continuously update and display preoperative information such that it corresponds to the actual position of the organ. An update method ...

Terrain-based Navigation for Underwater Vehicles Using Side Scan Sonar Images

Hannes Bleuler, Severin Stalder

Underwater navigation challenges the research community as a reliable navigation system is unavailable. Correctly matched landmarks could compensate the drift of dead reckoning navigation systems. Furthermore, they could be useful in side scan sonar image ...

Endoscopic navigation for minimally invasive suturing

Charles Baur, Gábor Székely

Manipulating small objects such as needles, screws or plates inside the human body during minimally invasive surgery can be very difficult for less experienced surgeons due to the loss of 3D depth perception. Classical navigation techniques are often incap ...

Minimizing Trilateration Errors in the Presence of Uncertain Landmark Positions

Alexander Bahr

Trilateration is a technique for position estimation from range measurements which is often used in robot navigation. Most applications assume that there is no error associated with the landmarks used for trilateration. In cooperative navigation, in which ...

Evolutionary Active Vision Toward Three Dimensional Landmark-Navigation

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Active vision may be useful to perform landmark-based navigation where landmark relationship requires active scanning of the environment. In this article we explore this hypothesis by evolving the neural system controlling vision and behavior of a mobile r ...
