CLAImate: AI-Enabled Climate Change Communication through Personalized and Localized Narrative Visualizations
Communicating climate change remains challenging, as climate reports, though rich in data and visualizations, often feel too abstract or technical for the public. Although personalization can enhance communication, most tools still lack the narrative and visualization tailoring needed to connect with individual experiences. We present CLAImate, an AI-enabled prototype that personalizes conversation narratives and localizes visualizations based on users' climate knowledge and geographic location…

Vision-based Perception for Autonomous Vehicles in Obstacle Avoidance Scenarios
Obstacle avoidance is essential for ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles. Accurate perception and motion planning are crucial to enabling vehicles to navigate complex environments while avoiding collisions. In this paper, we propose an efficient obstacle avoidance pipeline that leverages a camera-only perception module and a Frenet-Pure Pursuit-based planning strategy. By integrating advancements in computer vision, the system utilizes YOLOv11 for object detection and state-of-the-art mon…

SoK: How Sensor Attacks Disrupt Autonomous Vehicles: An End-to-end Analysis, Challenges, and Missed Threats
Autonomous vehicles, including self-driving cars, robotic ground vehicles, and drones, rely on complex sensor pipelines to ensure safe and reliable operation. However, these safety-critical systems remain vulnerable to adversarial sensor attacks that can compromise their performance and mission success. While extensive research has demonstrated various sensor attack techniques, critical gaps remain in understanding their feasibility in real-world, end-to-end systems. This gap largely stems from…

Comparison of Localization Algorithms between Reduced-Scale and Real-Sized Vehicles Using Visual and Inertial Sensors
Physically reduced-scale vehicles are emerging to accelerate the development of advanced automated driving functions. In this paper, we investigate the effects of scaling on self-localization accuracy with visual and visual-inertial algorithms using cameras and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). For this purpose, ROS2-compatible visual and visual-inertial algorithms are selected, and datasets are chosen as a baseline for real-sized vehicles. A test drive is conducted to record data of reduced-…

Towards Visualizing Electronic Medical Records via Natural Language Queries
Electronic medical records (EMRs) contain essential data for patient care and clinical research. With the diversity of structured and unstructured data in EHR, data visualization is an invaluable tool for managing and explaining these complexities. However, the scarcity of relevant medical visualization data and the high cost of manual annotation required to develop such datasets pose significant challenges to advancing medical visualization techniques. To address this issue, we propose an inno…

ChartBlender: An Interactive System for Authoring and Synchronizing Visualization Charts in Video
Embedding data visualizations in video can enhance the communication of complex information. However, this process is often labor-intensive, requiring designers to adjust visualizations frame by frame manually. In this work, we present ChartBlender, a novel system that streamlines this process by enabling users to create data visualizations, embed them seamlessly into video scenes, and automatically synchronize them with both camera motion and moving objects. Particularly, ChartBlender incorpor…
