The paper presents a multi‑campaign UAV thermal image dataset for inert ordnance screening, comprising 5,855 labeled image pairs collected in Tennessee across diverse terrains and seasons. The authors trained YOLOV11l and RT‑DETR‑R50 models on 33 m and 15 m altitude data, achieving automated candidate detection, and provided practical guidelines for future humanitarian mine action surveys. The dataset and models aim to aid screening and prioritization for follow‑up technical surveys or EOD assessment, not to replace clearance operations.

The paper introduces a geometry‑aware post‑detection framework that resolves overlapping plant instances in RGB UAV imagery by combining object detection with geometric clustering of plant components. It uses component centroids and radial intersection points (RIPs) to determine whether a detected region contains one or two plants, applying K‑means or Gaussian mixture models and density filtering to improve clustering accuracy. Evaluated on eggplant and tomato crops, the method achieved high F1‑scores (0.89 for eggplant, 0.75 for tomato) and demonstrated that geometric reasoning can enhance plant‑level interpretation without requiring additional sensors or retraining.
arXiv:2607. 23024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution satellite imagery is the backbone of good land-cover classification, and without that, environmental monitoring, urban planning, and sustainable resource management all fall short.
The paper presents an automated pipeline that uses unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) multispectral imagery and a Vision Transformer to detect wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) at the plant level. While the model achieved 89% accuracy on over 6,500 test patches using treatment-based labels, ELISA-based ground truth revealed significant label noise, indicating that the high accuracy was largely due to label bias rather than true disease detection. When evaluated against more reliable row‑level symptom severity and plant‑level ELISA labels, both deep learning and classical machine learning models showed limited generalization and weak separability between infected and mock‑inoculated plants, underscoring the importance of biologically grounded labels and realistic data conditions for UAS‑based disease detection.

TRNet is a multimodal segmentation network that maps paddy rice in mountainous and hilly regions using 0.5 m RGB imagery, a 5 m DEM, and slope data. It introduces a Topographic Energy Spectral Rectification module to suppress steep‑slope clutter and a Topography Guided Paddy Structure Decoder to refine predictions with topographic context. On two test areas, TRNet achieves Rice IoU scores of 85.10 % and 80.68 %, outperforming a Dual Encoder U‑Net by 9.15 and 18.83 percentage points, and maintains strong performance on new August 2024 imagery.
arXiv:2607. 06105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution RGB imagery acquired from low-altitude UAV surveys was processed through a modular pipeline incorporating transformer-based semantic segmentation, connected-component vegetation extraction, fine-grained species classification using a ConvNeXt architecture, and grid-based dominance scoring at 2x2m resolution.
arXiv:2607. 21881v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agricultural field maps are often proprietary, incomplete, or outdated, yet they provide the spatial framework for crop monitoring, production accounting, and land-conversion analysis.
