Adaptive Underground Meshing

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing 2026

ARMOR is a scene-adaptive framework for real-time 3D meshing in unexposed environments such as tunnels, caves, and lava tubes. The key idea is to jointly optimize geometry reconstruction and parameter tuning with spatio-temporal smoothing and reinforcement learning, enabling robust online meshing under diverse and unstructured scene conditions.

Active Control & SLAM

arXiv Preprint 2026

AWARE is a human-in-the-loop active control framework for improving LiDAR-inertial odometry on resource-constrained UAVs in feature-sparse environments. The key idea is to exploit whole-body yaw rotations through an RL-guided differentiable MPC controller, enabling the UAV to actively seek informative viewpoints while preserving flight safety and operator intent.

Adaptive Underground Meshing

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing 2026

AGI2P is a large-scale benchmark for aerial–ground visual localization in dense urban environments, integrating ground-level mobile-mapping images with ALS point clouds from Wuhan, Hong Kong, and San Francisco (12 sequences, 69,000+ image–ALS pairs). The key idea is to use ALS as a scalable prior map and obtain accurate ground-truth poses via MLS-to-ALS alignment, enabling robust benchmarking of state-of-the-art I2P methods under challenging cross-view, cross-modal conditions.

Underground Meshing

ISPRS-Annals 2024 Oral

NeRF-based Localization and Meshing is a wearable framework for real-time localization and mesh reconstruction in complex underground environments. The key idea is to couple LiDAR-inertial odometry with a scan-block representation that synchronizes poses and sequential laser frames, enabling efficient NeRF-based meshing with improved local accuracy.
