The paper introduces MV-PVMapper, a training‑free framework that combines vision foundation models (SAM 3) with UAV photogrammetry to produce high‑fidelity maps of photovoltaic modules. By generating candidate contours, correcting for surface slope, and iteratively refining segmentation across multiple views, the method recovers 7,710 of 7,711 modules with no false positives and achieves macro‑averaged precision and recall above 98 %. The approach outperforms orthomosaic segmentation and multi‑view pixel‑voting baselines, reaching a Jaccard index of 97.55 % without any task‑specific training data.
The paper introduces AeroBelief, a dual‑layer semantic‑spatial belief mapping framework for aerial object goal navigation. It separates broad contextual plausibility (intuition layer) from target‑specific evidence (evidence layer) and fuses them into persistent spatial belief hotspots. The method also employs object‑conditioned visual reasoning and egocentric regional guidance, achieving state‑of‑the‑art success rates on the UAV‑ON benchmark.
The paper introduces GeoReasoner, a framework for Aerial Vision-and-Language Navigation that replaces reactive trial-and-error with geospatial-guided active reasoning. It first uses pre-search geospatial reasoning to generate region-level priors and limit the goal hypothesis space, then performs hypothesis-driven exploration to gather discriminative evidence, and finally applies consistency-aware goal verification to avoid premature confirmations. Experiments on the CityNav benchmark show GeoReasoner achieves state‑of‑the‑art zero‑shot performance, rivaling supervised methods.

arXiv:2603. 04277v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous aerial robots operating in GPS-denied or communication-degraded environments frequently lose access to camera metadata and telemetry, leaving onboard perception systems unable to recover the absolute metric scale of the scene.
The paper introduces AeroBelief, a dual‑layer semantic‑spatial belief mapping framework for aerial object goal navigation. It separates broad contextual plausibility (intuition layer) from target‑specific evidence (evidence layer) and fuses them into persistent spatial belief hotspots, while also employing object‑conditioned visual reasoning and temporally stable regional guidance. Experiments on the UAV‑ON benchmark show AeroBelief outperforms prior methods in success rate, object success rate, and SPL.
