Elevator-VIGS: Separating Elevator Motion from Robot Motion in Visual-Inertial Gaussian Splatting SLAM

We present Elevator-VIGS, a visual-inertial 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM system that keeps tracking and mapping through elevator rides. Inside a moving elevator, the two sensors are in conflict. The camera sees only the robot's motion relative to the elevator, while the IMU senses that motion plus the elevator's motion relative to the world. This conflict is challenging for existing visual-inertial estimators. If vision dominates, the estimator tracks only the robot's motion within the elevator and misses the elevator's rise, and if the conflict remains, the estimator diverges. We observe that the conflict comes from forcing both observations into a single coordinate frame. We instead estimate the robot's pose in the elevator's coordinate frame, and the elevator's motion relative to the world as a per-keyframe transport state, the elevator's rise and vertical velocity, within dense visual-inertial bundle adjustment. Elevator-VIGS detects rides zero-shot with a vision-language model and a depth network, and constrains the transport state at the departure and the arrival. We record real-world and simulated elevator sequences. On these sequences, Elevator-VIGS achieves state-of-the-art tracking and rendering performance. On four elevator-free public benchmarks it keeps the state-of-the-art performance of VIGS-SLAM. Project page: https://ruizhou-cn.github.io/elevator-vigs/.

MCGS-SLAM: A Multi-Camera SLAM Framework Using Gaussian Splatting for High-Fidelity Mapping

Recent progress in dense SLAM has primarily targeted monocular setups, often at the expense of robustness and geometric coverage. We present MCGS-SLAM, the first purely RGB-based multi-camera SLAM system built on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Unlike prior methods relying on sparse maps or inertial data, MCGS-SLAM fuses dense RGB inputs from multiple viewpoints into a unified, continuously optimized Gaussian map. A multi-camera bundle adjustment (MCBA) jointly refines poses and depths via dense photometric and geometric residuals, while a scale consistency module enforces metric alignment across views using low-rank priors. The system supports RGB input and maintains real-time performance at large scale. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show that MCGS-SLAM consistently yields accurate trajectories and photorealistic reconstructions, usually outperforming monocular baselines. Notably, the wide field of view from multi-camera input enables reconstruction of side-view regions that monocular setups miss, critical for safe autonomous operation. These results highlight the promise of multi-camera Gaussian Splatting SLAM for high-fidelity mapping in robotics and autonomous driving.

Calibration of Deep Learning Classification Models in fNIRS

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a valuable non-invasive tool for monitoring brain activity. The classification of fNIRS data in relation to conscious activity holds significance for advancing our understanding of the brain and facilitating the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Many researchers have turned to deep learning to tackle the classification challenges inherent in fNIRS data due to its strong generalization and robustness. In the application of fNIRS, reliability is really important, and one mathematical formulation of the reliability of confidence is calibration. However, many researchers overlook the important issue of calibration. To address this gap, we propose integrating calibration into fNIRS field and assess the reliability of existing models. Surprisingly, our results indicate poor calibration performance in many proposed models. To advance calibration development in the fNIRS field, we summarize three practical tips. Through this letter, we hope to emphasize the critical role of calibration in fNIRS research and argue for enhancing the reliability of deep learning-based predictions in fNIRS classification tasks. All data from our experimental process are openly available on GitHub.
