GERI
THE URBAN EYE
GERI performs open-vocabulary semantic segmentation of large-scale urban point clouds using multi-view rendering and sample-balanced fusion. It understands outdoor urban environments at city scale — buildings, roads, vehicles, vegetation, infrastructure — all queryable via natural language. Urban autonomous operations require understanding city-scale environments, and GERI enables robots and vehicles to semantically parse entire city blocks from LiDAR data, identifying roads, sidewalks, buildings, and obstacles for navigation and mission planning.

INTELLIGENCE — URBAN 3D SEGMENTATION
Open-vocabulary urban point cloud segmentation at city scale.
This module addresses a critical gap in the ANIMA perception and intelligence stack.
WHAT GERI DELIVERS
Open-vocabulary urban point cloud segmentation at city scale.
CAPABILITIES
- Advanced URBAN 3D SEGMENTATION capabilities
- Integrated into ANIMA perception stack
- Bilingual documentation
- Production-ready architecture
WHY THIS IS HARD
Building GERI requires solving multiple coupled problems:
- 01Achieving real-time performance on edge hardware
- 02Maintaining accuracy across diverse conditions
- 03Seamless integration with existing ANIMA modules
- 04Robust operation in degraded environments
GERI solves these through careful architecture design and rigorous validation.
