Faster and More Robust CK Reaction Rate Estimation at 3T Using Acquisition‐Weighted 31P Cardiac 1D‐MRSI With Compartment‐Based Reconstruction

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Quantification of the creatine kinase (CK) forward reaction rate (kf) in the human heart using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy is clinically important; however, it is limited by long acquisition times, operator subjectivity in analysis, and potential skeletal muscle contamination.

Deep Patch Visual SLAM

Recent work in visual SLAM has shown the effectiveness of using deep network backbones. Despite excellent accuracy, however, such approaches are often expensive to run or do not generalize well zero-shot. Their runtime can also fluctuate wildly while their frontend and backend fight for access to GPU resources.

PAS-SLAM: A Visual SLAM System for Planar-Ambiguous Scenes

IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology
Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) based on planar features has found widespread applications in fields such as environmental structure perception and augmented reality. However, current research faces challenges in accurately localizing and mapping in planar ambiguous scenes, primarily due to the poor accuracy of the employed planar ...

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure

Oikos, EarlyView.
Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

SLAM for Visually Impaired People: A Survey

IEEE Access
In recent decades, several assistive technologies have been developed to improve the ability of blind and visually impaired (BVI) individuals to navigate independently and safely. At the same time, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques have become sufficiently robust and efficient to be adopted in developing these assistive ...

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

Autonomous Navigation in Large‐Scale Underground Environments Based on a Purely Topological Understanding of Tunnel Networks

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...
