Large-Scale Autonomous Flight With Real-Time Semantic SLAM Under Dense Forest Canopy

Xu Liu et al.

Summary: In this letter, an integrated system for large-scale autonomous flights and real-time semantic mapping in challenging under-canopy environments is proposed. The system utilizes LiDAR data to detect and model tree trunks and ground planes, and employs a multi-level planning and mapping framework to compute dynamically feasible trajectories. This leads to the construction of a semantic map of the user-defined region of interest, while minimizing odometry drift through a drift-compensation mechanism.

Development of a methodology for real-time retrieving and viewing of spatial data in emergency scenarios

Ahmed Alamouri et al.

Summary: Quick response in emergency situations is crucial, and the development of strategies for emergency management using modern technologies like unmanned aerial vehicles is essential. Providing real-time geo-situation reports to support decision-making in emergencies is complex due to outdated spatial data, leading to the development of a methodology for spatial data management focusing on enabling free access to data in real time. The results show that this methodology can help overcome challenges in spatial data sharing and retrieval, with a focus on performance and time consumption.

Collaborative Semantic Understanding and Mapping Framework for Autonomous Systems

Yufeng Yue et al.

Summary: The article proposes a novel hierarchical collaborative probabilistic semantic mapping framework that combines single robot level semantic point cloud with collaborative robot level global semantic map fusion. An expectation-maximization approach is used to estimate hidden data association, followed by Bayesian rule for semantic and occupancy probability update. Experimental results demonstrate high quality of global semantic maps on unmanned aerial vehicle and unmanned ground vehicle platforms, showcasing accuracy and utility in practical missions.

Any Way You Look at It: Semantic Crossview Localization and Mapping With LiDAR

Ian D. Miller et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a real-time method for globally localizing a robot using semantics, which utilizes egocentric 3D semantically labelled LiDAR and IMU as well as top-down RGB images obtained from satellites or aerial robots. The method builds a globally registered, semantic map of the environment as it runs, showing better than 10 m accuracy, high robustness, and the ability to estimate the scale of a top-down map on the fly if it is initially unknown.
