DeepForest: Sensing Into Self-Occluding Volumes of Vegetation With Aerial Imaging

M Youssef, J Peng, O Bimber - arxiv preprint arxiv:2502.02171, 2025 - arxiv.org
Access to below-canopy volumetric vegetation data is crucial for understanding ecosystem
dynamics. We address the long-standing limitation of remote sensing to penetrate deep into …

An Autonomous Drone Swarm for Detecting and Tracking Anomalies among Dense Vegetation

RJAA Nathan, S Strand, D Mehrwald, D Shutin… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Swarms of drones offer an increased sensing aperture, and having them mimic behaviors of
natural swarms enhances sampling by adapting the aperture to local conditions. We …

Reciprocal Visibility

RJAA Nathan, S Strand, D Shutin, O Bimber - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We propose a guidance strategy to optimize real-time synthetic aperture sampling for
occlusion removal with drones by pre-scanned point-cloud data. Depth information can be …
