Pursuing a continuous visual representation that offers flexible frequency modulation and fast rendering speed has recently garnered increasing attention in the fields of 3D vision and graphics. However, existing representations often rely on frequency guidance or complex neural network decoding, leading to spectrum loss or slow rendering. To address these limitations, we propose WIPES, a universal Wavelet-based vIsual PrimitivES for representing multi-dimensional visual signals. Building on the spatial-frequency localization advantages of wavelets, WIPES effectively captures both the low-frequency "forest" and the high-frequency "trees." Additionally, we develop a wavelet-based differentiable rasterizer to achieve fast visual rendering. Experimental results on various visual tasks, including 2D image representation, 5D static and 6D dynamic novel view synthesis, demonstrate that WIPES, as a visual primitive, offers higher rendering quality and faster inference than INR-based methods, and outperforms Gaussian-based representations in rendering quality.

In aerial cooperative transportation missions, it has been recognized that for small-sized but heavy payloads, the cable-suspended framework is a preferred manner. However, to maintain proper safe flight distances, cables always stay inclined, which implies that horizontal force components have to be generated by UAVs, and only partial thrust forces are used for gravity compensation. To overcome this drawback, in this paper, a new cooperative transportation system named Truss Aerial Transportation System (TATS) is proposed, where those horizontal forces can be internally compensated by the bar spherical joint structure. In the TATS, rigid bars can powerfully sustain the desired distances among UAVs for safe flight, resulting in a more compact and effective transportation system. Thanks to the structural advantage of the truss, the rigid bars can be made lightweight so as to minimize their induced gravity burden. The construction method of the proposed TATS is presented. The improvement in energy efficiency is analyzed and compared with the cable-suspended framework. Furthermore, the robustness property of a TATS configuration is evaluated by computing the margin capacity. Finally, a load test experiment is conducted on our made prototype, the results of which show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed TATS.
