Obtaining spatially separated, high‐frequency water samples from rivers and lakes is critical
to enhance our understanding and effective management of freshwater resources. In this …

Accurately mapping the course and vegetation along a river is challenging, since
overhanging trees block GPS at ground level and occlude the shore line when viewed from …

Sky/river alike areas are important parts of natural scenes. The haze of these areas will
impact the vividness of natural scenes. More serious, once the haze occurs in navigation of …

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for estimating the drivable collision-free space for
autonomous navigation of on-road and on-water vehicles. In contrast to previous …

This brief addresses the blanket coverage problem, in which it is desired to cover a long
region by moving the blanket within the boundaries representing the main region. To this …

Mapping a river's geometry provides valuable information to help understand the topology
and health of an environment and deduce other attributes such as which types of surface …

Even though Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are increasingly used to perform various
laborious and expensive offshore tasks, they still require an extensive dedicated crew …

Detection of navigable regions for the unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) sailing on the
narrow rivers is very important. Existing detection methods mostly depend on cameras …

We present a new method to adapt an RGB-trained water segmentation network to target-
domain aerial thermal imagery using online self-supervision by leveraging texture and …

Obstacle detection is a complex task involving detection of obstacle features, identification of
appropriate sensor and environmental conditions. The development of water hazard …
