This research paper investigates the efficacy of leading machine learning (ML) models for detecting and identifying ungulate species in African savanna using nadir imagery from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Traditional aerial counting methods, while widely used, suffer from significant limitations in accuracy and precision, in part due to human ...

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Progressive Colour Equalisation and Detail Refinement for Underwater Image Enhancement
ABSTRACT Underwater image enhancement remains a critical challenge in computational vision due to complex distortions caused by wavelength‐dependent light absorption and scattering. This paper introduces CEDFNet, a novel two‐stage framework that leverages advanced computational intelligence techniques for robust and high‐fidelity underwater image ...

CDFNet: Cross‐Modal Deep Fusion for Monocular 3D Semantic Scene Completion
ABSTRACT Semantic scene completion (SSC) aims to predict the semantic occupancy and geometry of 3D scenes. Recently, most studies focus on camera‐based approaches due to the rich visual cues of images and the cost‐effectiveness of cameras. However, these methods usually lack efficient fusion and fine‐grained processing of cross‐modal semantic ...

SFK: Shape‐ and Function‐Grounded Keypoint Representation for Sequential Manipulation
ABSTRACT Sequential manipulation is the process by which robots perform multiple interdependent steps to accomplish composite tasks, demanding tight integration of perception, planning and execution. Existing methods incorporate explicit features such as category, semantics, 6D pose or affordance to enhance consistency, yet single‐feature ...
