Drones will play an essential role in human-machine teaming in future search and rescue (SAR) missions. We present a first prototype that finds people fully autonomously in densely occluded forests. In the course of 17 field experiments…
Assume we are given a set of items from a general metric space, but we neither have access to the representation of the data nor to the distances between data points. Instead, suppose that we can actively choose a triplet of items (A,B,C)…
Aerial remote sensing efficiently surveys large areas, but accurate direct object-level measurement remains difficult in complex natural scenes. Advancements in 3D computer vision, particularly radiance field representations such as NeRF…
We investigate the use of additional 3D and phylogenetic non-3D tree balance indices for analyzing and monitoring forests using an exemplary "virtual forest" dataset from the Wytham Woods, Oxford, UK. This study assesses 3D model quality,…
In large-area forest inventories a trade-off between the amount of data to be sampled and the costs of collecting the data is necessary. It is not always possible to have a very large data sample when dealing with sampling-based…
Tree height estimation serves as an important proxy for biomass estimation in ecological and forestry applications. While traditional methods such as photogrammetry and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) offer accurate height measurements,…
