Nerf(acto) for the 3D modeling of the Computer Science building of Westfälische Hochschule GE
(2023)
The video shows a very high resolution 3D point cloud !!! of the computer science building of the University of Applied Science Gelsenkirchen. For the recording a 3 minute flight with a M30T was performed. The 105 images taken by the wide-angle camera during this flight were localized within 3 minutes using colmap and processed using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). The nerfacto model of Nerfstudio was trained on an Nvidia RTX 4090 for 8 minutes. Thus, a top 3D model is available after about 15 minutes.
The video shown here shows a free camera path rendered at 60 hz (Full HD).
The video showcases a 3D model of a chemical company following a tank explosion that occurred on August 17, 2023, in Kempen computed with the AI algorithm Neural Radiance Field (NeRF). Captured by a compact mini drone measuring 18cm x 18cm and equipped with a 360° camera, these images offer an intricate perspective of the aftermath. After a comprehensive aerial survey and inspection of the 360° images taken within the facility, authorities confirmed that it was safe for the evacuated residents to return to their homes. See also:

Problem: A group of robots, called a swarm, is placed in an unknown environment and is supposed to explore it independently. The goal of the exploration is the creation of a common map.
Implementation
- Equipping six Kobuki robots with appropriate sensor technology, a large battery, a router and the Jetson board
- Setup of the Jetson-Boards with self-made ROS2 nodes and the set up mesh network
- Writing of launch files for the common start of all functions
- Reinforcement learning is used to train an AI that controls the swarm by selecting points for the robots to approach and navigating to them and navigating them there.
- Setting up a responsive website using Angular and the Bootstrap
Framework.
The video shows the first test of a small spherical UAV (35 cm) with 4 rotors for missions in complex environments such as buildings, caves or tunnels. The spherical design protects the vehicle's internal components and allows the UAV to roll over the ground when the environment allows. The drone can land and take off in any position and come into contact with objects without endangering the propellers and can restart even after crashes.
