A Low-Latency 3D Live Remote Visualization System for Tourist Sites Integrating Dynamic and Pre-captured Static Point Clouds
Various real-time methods for capturing and transmitting dynamic 3D spaces have been proposed, including those based on RGB-D cameras and volumetric capture. However, applying existing methods to outdoor tourist sites remains difficult because maintenance and aesthetic constraints limit sensor placement, and daylight variability complicates processing. We propose a system that combines multiple LiDARs and cameras for live dynamic point cloud capture, and integrates them with pre-captured static…

Status of #TypePad migration, 21 Sept.
With TypePad shutting down on 30 Sept, I've been looking at how to move 5 blogs that I've had there for **20 years** with over 2,500 posts.
The reality is that I write on them so rarely that I could really just make them static sites and all would be fine.
However, an *easy* path right now seems to be to bring them into

It is an ever-loving mystery that Tesla's stock remains so high: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradtempleton/2025/09/18/tesla-robotaxi-reports-3-crashes-in-austin-on-july-1-details-hidden/

Tesla Robotaxi Reports 3 Crashes In Austin On July 1, Details Hidden
One of the crashes was with a static object with minor injuries and the Tesla towed away. And a 4th crash was not reported. This does not look good.

SFR va vendre des tours télécoms pour réduire sa dette
Le groupe de Patrick Drahi et son concurrent Bouygues Telecom sont en passe de céder leurs 3 700 sites d’antennes de téléphonie mobile à l’américain Phoenix Tower. Cette vente doit permettre à SFR de diminuer de près 500 millions d’euros sa dette colossale.

Predicting Locations of Cell Towers for Network Capacity Expansion
Network capacity expansion is a critical challenge for telecom operators, requiring strategic placement of new cell sites to ensure optimal coverage and performance. Traditional approaches, such as manual drive tests and static optimization, often fail to consider key real-world factors including user density, terrain features, and financial constraints. In this paper, we propose a machine learning-based framework that combines deep neural networks for signal coverage prediction with spatial cl…

Taking Language Embedded 3D Gaussian Splatting into the Wild
Recent advances in leveraging large-scale Internet photo collections for 3D reconstruction have enabled immersive virtual exploration of landmarks and historic sites worldwide. However, little attention has been given to the immersive understanding of architectural styles and structural knowledge, which remains largely confined to browsing static text-image pairs. Therefore, can we draw inspiration from 3D in-the-wild reconstruction techniques and use unconstrained photo collections to create a…
