arXiv:2606. 19176v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous UAV operations on ships require reliable vision-based relative pose estimation, yet at-sea validation is costly, weather-dependent, and risky.
arXiv:2607. 08359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) enables UAV autonomous navigation in unknown environments by mapping language instructions to real-time visual inputs.
Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) enables UAV autonomous navigation in unknown environments by mapping language instructions to real-time visual inputs. Compared with GPS-dependent or pre-programmed navigation, VLN supports intuitive human-machine interaction and stronger environmental adaptability, requiring tight integration of high-level semantic reasoning and low-latency flight control.
arXiv:2506. 22174v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The transport industry has recently shown significant interest in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), specifically for port and inland waterway transport.
Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for 3D reconstruction and autonomous navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In practical deployments, UAVs operate under highly dynamic camera poses characterized by continuous variations in height, pitch, roll, and field of view (FOV).
arXiv:2607. 12801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study introduces a unified control framework for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fitted with a pan-tilt (PT) camera, intended to perform an end-to-end mission spanning from initial target detection to accurate terminal engagement.
arXiv:2606. 00747v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For low-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) autonomy, 3D spatial understanding is not merely a perception objective, but the safety interface between human instructions and physical flight.
arXiv:2607. 21400v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) enables embodied agents to follow natural-language instructions.
arXiv:2606. 03441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous vision-based perching of quadrotors on moving inclined platforms is critical for air-ground collaboration but remains challenging due to the limited field of view (FOV).
arXiv:2606. 04111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Indoor UAV navigation requires efficient exploration, scene understanding, and reliable trajectory execution under limited field-of-view observations.
Aerial image-goal navigation requires an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to reach a target location specified by a goal image. Existing world-model-based methods rank candidate trajectories using predicted futures, but typically rely on only one or a few point predictions, which is inadequate for large-scale outdoor environments with substantial future-state uncertainty.
arXiv:2606. 20045v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: UAV Vision-Language Navigation (UAV-VLN) is typically formulated as a holistic search-and-reach problem, where long-range target discovery and final target approach are optimized and evaluated jointly.
arXiv:2608. 07018v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Horizon detection in images of ice-covered waters is a challenging problem for maritime navigation due to low contrast between water and sky, cluttered ice structures, and varying illumination conditions.
