Subjective exploration for simultaneous localization and mapping used in ruins

, 2015
According to the requirement of efficiency for rapid detection during the search and rescue in ruins, this paper proposes a subjective exploration strategy in the framework of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).

Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Risk Scenarios for European Rearmament

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the European Union has launched a flurry of initiatives to ramp up European defence spending. Efforts to bolster European defence have further intensified in response to the United States' increasingly hostile stance towards its erstwhile European allies.

The nation‐state, non‐Western empires, and the politics of cultural difference

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract While empires have been central to political theory, they almost always refer to Western forms of imperialism and colonialism to which non‐Western societies are subject. But precolonial empires have ruled much of the world for much of known history. Building on recent International Relations (IR) scholarship, this article reconstructs an ideal

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

Simultaneous localization and sampled environment mapping

, 2009
Simultaneous localization and map building is a key issue to ensure the mobile robot move in an unknown environment autonomously. A hot topic of SLAM is how to build a map describing the complex environment. This paper presents a new SLAM algorithm using

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

Semantic SLAM with Multi-Modal Perception: Survey on Robust Long-Term Localization for Autonomous Vehicles

Robotics
Long-term localization in dynamic and changing environments remains a key challenge for autonomous vehicles. Semantic Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) enhances traditional SLAM by integrating high-level semantic understanding, enabling robust
