NIRGB‐GS: Near‐Infrared Assisted Low‐Light Scene Reconstruction and Enhancement via Gaussian Splatting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes NIRGB‐GS, a multimodal 3DGS variant that enables reliable 3D reconstruction and normal‐light novel‐view synthesis for extremely low‐light scenes by fusing paired near‐infrared and noisy RGB captures. High‐SNR near‐infrared modality and modality‐specific appearance encoding together resolve the issues of unstable pose/geometry ...

The Effect of Demineralization on Coal Functional Group Pyrolysis: Rank‐Dependent Dual Mechanisms of Structural Reorganization and Mineral Catalysis

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal pyrolysis, as a key thermochemical conversion process, is significantly influenced by inherent minerals, yet their role across different coal ranks remains inadequately understood. This study investigates the effect of acid‐washing (demineralization) on the thermal decomposition of six functional groups (aliphatic C–H, aromatic C–H/C=C, C=
