Beyond NeRF Underwater: Learning Neural Reflectance Fields for True Color Correction of Marine Imagery
NSH 4305Abstract: Underwater imagery often exhibits distorted coloration as a result of light-water interactions, which complicates the study of benthic environments in marine biology and geography. In this research, we propose an algorithm to restore the true color (albedo) in underwater imagery by jointly learning the effects of the medium and neural scene representations. Our approach [...]

Optimization of Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle Design using Reconfigurability, Mobility, and Complexity
Abstract: Unmanned ground vehicles are being deployed in increasingly diverse and complex environments. With modern developments in sensing and planning, the field of ground vehicle mobility presents rich possibilities for mechanical innovations that may be especially relevant for unmanned systems. In particular, reconfigurability may enable vehicles to traverse a wider set of terrains with greater [...]
