ImplicitTerrainV2: Wavelet-Guided Spatially Adaptive Neural Terrain Representation

arXiv:2605. 22556v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Digital elevation models (DEMs) underpin terrain analysis in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), but commonly as raster representation, they rely on interpolation for off-grid sampling and finite-difference operators for derivative-based analysis.

SLED: Scalable Location Encoding via Distillation

arXiv:2608. 06612v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The plethora of readily available geospatial data offers exciting opportunities to learn high quality representations of the planet, but the sheer size of the Earth Observations (EO), differing modalities, and different sensor types pose significant challenges in doing so.

Geometric Foundation Model Distillation for Efficient Lunar 3D Reconstruction

Large 3D foundation models such as MASt3R achieve state-of-the-art stereo reconstruction but are computationally demanding for deployment under strict hardware constraints -- a critical limitation in domains such as planetary exploration, where onboard computing is severely restricted. We study how far such models can be compressed through knowledge distillation, using lunar stereo reconstruction as a challenging and practically relevant case study.

Scaling Storm-Resolving Atmospheric AI Simulation to the Entire Planet

arXiv:2606. 31248v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kilometer-scale convection shapes precipitation extremes, tropical organization, and cloud feedbacks, but most global atmospheric models approximate these processes at 25-100 km resolution.
