arXiv:2608. 04201v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State estimation for nonlinear dynamical systems is commonly performed with the Unscented Kalman filter (UKF), which propagates the state moments through deterministic sigma points and reports a posterior covariance at every step.

ALS boresight calibration has relied for two decades on dedicated flight patterns over structured scenes containing planar surfaces of varied aspect and slope. While reliable, this approach imposes constraints on the scene content and operations, which limits its applicability to boresight recovery within routine mapping missions.
arXiv:2601. 03040v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A fundamental requirement for full autonomy is the ability to sustain accurate navigation in the absence of external data, such as GNSS signals or visual information.
