Classically, vision is seen as a cascade of local, feedforward computations. This framework has been tremendously successful, inspiring a wide range of ground-breaking findings in neuroscience and computer vision. Recently, feedforward Convolutional Neural ...
With ever greater computational resources and more accessible software, deep neural networks have become ubiquitous across industry and academia.
Their remarkable ability to generalize to new samples defies the conventional view, which holds that complex, ...
Objective quality assessment of compressed images is very useful in many applications. In this paper we present an objective quality metric that is better tuned to evaluate the quality of images distorted by compression artifacts. A deep convolutional neur ...
Deep neural networks are highly effective tools for human and animal pose estimation. However, robustness to out-of-domain data remains a challenge. Here, we probe the transfer and generalization ability for pose estimation with two architecture classes (M ...
Dynamically changing environments, unreliable state estimation, and operation under severe resource constraints are fundamental challenges for robotics, which still limit the deployment of small autonomous drones. We address these challenges in the context ...
In the last ten years, new sources of urban big data have made it possible for algorithms to increasingly control how the city is perceived, understood and managed by its inhabitants; this is the data-driven city.
New efforts in the social sciences, like ...
Decentralized drone swarms deployed today either rely on sharing of positions among agents or detecting swarm members with the help of visual markers. This work proposes an entirely visual approach to coordinate markerless drone swarms based on imitation l ...
Lightweight, autonomous drones are soon expected to be used in a wide variety of tasks such as aerial surveillance, delivery, or monitoring of existing architectures. A large body of literature in robotic perception and control exists. Existing methods are ...
Autonomous micro aerial vehicles still struggle with fast and agile maneuvers, dynamic environments, imperfect sensing, and state estimation drift. Autonomous drone racing brings these challenges to the fore. Human pilots can fly a previously unseen track ...
Conventional skid or wheel based helicopter landing gears severely limit off-field landing possibilities, which are crucial when operating in scenarios such as mountain rescue. In this context, slopes beyond 8° and small obstacles can already pose a substa ...
