Despite the remarkable progress over the past decades, accurately identifying small objects remains challenging because of their insufficient visual cues. Previous works typically attempt to construct discriminative representation of the small objects.

The core challenge of heterogeneous change detection in remote sensing imagery lies in effectively decoupling genuine land-cover changes from significant modal disparities caused by distinct imaging mechanisms. These intrinsic inconsistencies are prone to introducing pseudo-changes, thereby constraining detection accuracy.

UFO-DETR is an end‑to‑end object detection framework designed for UAV imagery, addressing challenges such as scale variation, dense distribution, and the prevalence of tiny targets. It employs an LSKNet backbone to optimize receptive fields and reduce parameters, integrates DAttention and AIFI modules for flexible multi‑scale spatial modeling, and introduces a DynFreq‑C3 module that enhances small target detection via cross‑space frequency feature enhancement. Experiments demonstrate that UFO‑DETR outperforms RT‑DETR‑L in detection accuracy while improving computational efficiency, making it suitable for UAV edge computing.

Existing object detection methods predominantly utilize sRGB inputs, which are compressed from RAW sensor data using Image Signal Processors (ISP) originally designed for visualization purposes. Compared to RGB images, RAW images possess favorable noise characteristics and richer information representation, which are crucial for object detection, particularly under challenging conditions such as adverse weather or low-light environments.
arXiv:2608. 08439v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Heterogeneous RF sensing differs substantially in feature structure, spatial layout, and temporal scale, making existing models difficult to reuse across devices, environments, and RF modalities.
