Abstract: Underwater autonomous robotic operations require online localization and 3D mapping. Because of the absence of absolute positioning underwater, these tasks strongly rely on embedded sensors, ...

Abstract: The Direct Position Determination (DPD) algorithm usually demonstrates superior effectiveness in target localization scenarios compared to conventional two-step methods. However, as the ...

Puppeteer is proposed for automatic rigging and animation of 3D objects. Given a 3D object, Puppeteer first automatically generates skeletal structures and skinning weights, then animates the rigged ...

Using data from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, an animation has been created that "reveals a 3-D slice through a network of hydrogen gas filaments that crisscross the spaces between galaxies," according ...
