Drones equipped with cameras are emerging as a powerful tool for large-scale aerial 3D
scanning, but existing automatic flight planners do not exploit all available information about …

We discuss the problem of inspecting an underwater structure, such as a submerged ship
hull, with an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Unlike a large body of prior work, we …

In this paper, we propose a novel and computationally efficient algorithm for simultaneous
exploration and coverage with a vision-guided micro aerial vehicle (MAV) in unknown …

Over the years various methods have been proposed for the problem of object detection.
Recently, we have witnessed great strides in this domain owing to the emergence of …

3D digitisation denotes the process of describing parts of our physical world through finite
measurements and representations that can be processed and visualised with a compute r …

Autonomous mobile robots perform many tasks, such as gras** and inspection, that may
require complete models of three-dimensional (3-D) objects in the environment. If little or no …

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for planning exploration paths to generate 3D
models of unknown environments by using a micro-aerial vehicle (MAV). Our algorithm …

The objective of this paper is to highlight current trends in photogrammetry, trying to foresee
where they will lead the discipline in the next years. To this aim, first some remarks on the …

To image in high resolution large and occlusion-prone scenes, a camera must move above
and around. Degradation of visibility due to geometric occlusions and distances is …

We discuss the problem of inspecting an underwater structure, such as a submerged ship
hull, with an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). In such scenarios, the goal is to …
