SILICA: Repurposing Diffusion Priors for Joint Glass Segmentation and Depth Estimation

SILICA: Repurposing Diffusion Priors for Joint Glass Segmentation and Depth Estimation

Standard depth sensors systematically fail on transparent surfaces, creating corrupted 3D maps and severe navigation hazards. While specialized hardware sensors can detect glass, they lack modularity and have extensive hardware dependencies. Consequently, learning-based monocular depth estimation has emerged as a compelling alternative. However, domain-specific glass-aware monocular depth estimators struggle with unfamiliar indoor layouts; restricted by the severe scarcity of real-world glass depth annotations, they fail to generalize zero-shot to new settings. This motivates us to explore whether the extensive priors of text-to-image diffusion models can enable generalizable perception of transparent surfaces. We introduce SILICA, a unified pipeline leveraging these priors to jointly predict glass segmentation and glass-aware depth. This mutual information exchange establishes a robust spatial hierarchy, entirely eliminating the need for paired real-world glass depth annotations. Subsequently, we use the predicted segmentation mask to explicitly filter incorrect glass depth points from standard sensors, recovering accurate metric glass depth for downstream 3D mapping and autonomous collision avoidance. Supported by our novel Mirage 18k dataset, extensive experiments demonstrate that SILICA achieves remarkable zero-shot transfer across diverse, unseen environments, outperforming state-of-the-art models by almost 20% and setting a new benchmark for transparent surface perception.

Model Predictive Planner for UAV Navigation in Non-Convex Air Corridors

Model Predictive Planner for UAV Navigation in Non-Convex Air Corridors

This work presents a motion planning framework for UAV navigation in non-convex urban air corridors. The planner is based on a mixed-integer tracking model predictive control formulation that enforces corridor feasibility and dynamic consistency within a single optimization problem. To guarantee convergence to the target and mitigate the occurrence of local minima induced by non-convex geometry, a shortest-path-based offset cost with feasibility constraints is embedded directly into the planning problem. Numerical simulations show that the proposed formulation generates dynamically valid trajectories that satisfy the corridor constraints and converge to the target without relying on external global planning stages.

Accuracy potential of visual localization exploiting high-end street-level imagery

Accuracy potential of visual localization exploiting high-end street-level imagery

Accurate and reliable pose information with respect to a reference frame is increasingly demanded across applications such as autonomous navigation, surveying, robotics, and augmented and mixed reality. Visual localization can serve as a complementary positioning modality to GNSS, whose applicability and accuracy are often limited. Yet, the accuracy potential of visual localization has not been systematically investigated against survey-grade demands. This is mainly due to the lack of publicly available, large-scale outdoor datasets with ground-truth poses in the sub-centimeter range. In this work, we address both gaps. We introduce a scalable visual localization pipeline that employs precisely georeferenced, high-resolution street-level imagery directly as the scene representation. It combines prior-guided reference candidate selection with on-the-fly local Structure-from-Motion reconstruction and PnP-based pose estimation. We further present the FHNW Muttenz dataset, a real-world dataset covering a contiguous 10 km street network mapped in two mobile mapping campaigns approximately 1.5 years apart. It consists of high-resolution reference imagery and query sequences acquired by four different cameras across five representative scenes. All images are precisely co-registered, yielding 6-DoF ground-truth poses in the sub-centimeter range. Using this dataset, we evaluate the accuracy potential of visual localization. Our experiments demonstrate median pose accuracies in the range of 1-5 cm for translation and 0.05-0.1° for rotation, reaching as low as 1 cm and 0.03° under favorable conditions. These results show that visual localization can complement survey-grade GNSS positioning, paving the way for 3D geospatial data acquisition using consumer devices and fully automated georeferencing approaches. The dataset is publicly available at: https://fhnw-muttenz-vl-dataset.github.io/.
