Long‐Range Time‐Correlated Single‐Photon Counting Lidar 3D‐Reconstruction From a Moving Ground Vehicle

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 1178-1192, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Time‐correlated single‐photon counting (TCSPC) lidar enables high‐resolution 3D imaging at kilometer range. While previous works have covered long range TCSPC 3D imaging from either stationary or airborne platforms, this is, to the best of our knowledge, the first attempt that use a moving ground vehicle. Fusing measurements taken at different

Investigating Remote Warfare as the Radical Undoing of Life: The Compounding Civilian Harm Effects of US‐Led Coalition Bombings in Iraq

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract The increased reliance on remote warfare by US‐led military coalitions presents us with questions of “what war is” and “how to know about war” in the 21st century. In this article we substantiate calls for an embodied epistemology of war by introducing a transdisciplinary research agenda to investigate the temporal and spatial civilian harm ...

Curvy Surface Reconstruction

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
This review introduces the concept of “general curvy surface reconstruction,” which incorporates both geometric and physical dimensions, representing an upgrade over conventional geometric reconstruction that focuses solely on spatial relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on the emerging opportunities enabled by advanced measurement techniques ...

Optimization in Conceptual Design of a BWB UAV Using an Adaptive Kriging‐Based Surrogate Model

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
An adaptive Kriging‐based framework for Blended Wing Body UAV optimization is presented. The exploitation‐oriented strategy yields a 14.5% range improvement, while sensitivity analysis identifies fuel mass as the dominant parameter for efficient conceptual design. ABSTRACT To improve optimization efficiency in the conceptual design of Blended Wing Body
