This paper presents an analysis of large scale decentralized SLAM under a variety of experimental conditions to illustrate design trade-o s relevant to multi-robot mapping in challenging environments. As a part of work through the MAST CTA, the focus of these robot teams is on the use of small-scale robots with limited sensing, communication and computational resources. To evaluate mapping algo...

Landscape monitoring studies often employ metrics to quantify changes in landscape composition (e.g. proportional forest area) and pattern (e.g. edge density, mean patch size), through the analysis of land cover maps arranged in a time series. Remote sensing plays a key role in such studies; however, the approaches for generating multi-temporal time series are not yet fully developed. For examp...
