Localizing ground robots against aerial imagery provides a critical capability for autonomous navigation, especially in environments where GPS is unreliable or unavailable. This task is challenging due to large viewpoint differences and substantial environmental variability. Most prior methods local…
Aerial imagery provides essential global context for autonomous navigation, enabling route planning at scales inaccessible to onboard sensing. We address the problem of generating global costmaps for long-range planning directly from satellite imagery when entities and mission-specific traversal rul…
Autonomous mobile robots deployed in outdoor environments must reason about different types of terrain for both safety (e.g., prefer dirt over mud) and deployer preferences (e.g., prefer dirt path over flower beds). Most existing solutions to this preference-aware path planning problem use semantic…
