abstract = {Drones currently serve as a valuable tool for in-situ sampling of volcanic plumes, but they still involve manual piloting. In this paper, we enable autonomous dual plume sampling by using a machine vision model to detect eruptions. When an eruption is detected, a sampling trajectory is automatically enerated to intercept the plume twice to collect comparative samples. The machine vision model is developed by training a YOLOv8 object detection model thanks to a database of 1505 images that feature labelled plumes. The obtained average precision value of the model’s plume class, at 90.7%, is comparable to that of state-of-the-art models for wildfire smoke monitoring. The performance of this method is assessed using a software-in-the-loop simulation of the drone and a simulated plume model. Although the results confirm the efficacy of using a machine vision model for triggering an onboard path-planning algorithm, it also suggests the potential for a hybrid strategy that integrates visual servoing with our proposed path-planning approach. },

abstract = {Quantifying the behavior of small animals traversing long distances in complex environments is one of the most difficult tracking scenarios for computer vision. Tiny and low-contrast foreground objects have to be localized in cluttered and dynamic scenes as well as trajectories compensated for camera motion and drift in multiple lengthy recordings. We introduce CATER, a novel methodology combining an unsupervised probabilistic detection mechanism with a globally optimized environment reconstruction pipeline enabling precision behavioral quantification in natural environments. Implemented as an easy to use and highly parallelized tool, we show its application to recover fine-scale motion trajectories, registered to a high-resolution image mosaic reconstruction, of naturally foraging desert ants from unconstrained field recordings. By bridging the gap between laboratory and field experiments, we gain previously unknown insights into ant navigation with respect to motivational states, previous experience, and current environments and provide an appearance-agnostic method applicable to study the behavior of a wide range of terrestrial species under realistic conditions. A tool is developed to obtain high precision quantification of animal behavior filmed in the wild with a freely moving camera.},
