In this paper, we trained a DINOv2 -based classifier on iNaturalist data to generate 140k pseudo-labels from #UAV imagery. The labels were used to pretrain and fine-tune a semantic #segmentation model, outperforming manual labelling on plant species segmentation 🌲.

Of course, these lists were just started. They are far from being exhaustive 😉

(2/2) On the downside, I have been applying for #jobs since September, with few replies. The end of 2024 has been a moment of uncertainty for me, with many questions and few answers.

I hope that 2025 will be a better #year to get hired. Until then, here is my resume:

This year, while writing my master's thesis, I found this great blog post from @rerun.io that shows the structure of #rosbags. I recommend it to anyone who wonders how rosbags work.
It helps understand why not all rosbags can be easily recovered when your robot's battery dies 🪫.

Thirteen years ago, Willow Garage released ROS (the Robot Operating System) and established one of the standard productivity tools for the entire robotics industry.
