arXiv:2608. 04720v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Real-time object detectors achieve remarkable accuracy under controlled conditions, yet degrade sharply on non-ideal inputs-fisheye distortion, game-rendered content, aerial views, and 360{\deg}panoramas.

The paper investigates using diffusion-based generative image editing to improve object detector robustness against domain shifts, specifically camouflaged military vehicle detection. By synthetically adding foliage, netting, and multi‑spectral camouflage to training data with models such as Qwen Image Edit 2509 and Flux.2 Dev, the authors demonstrate significant mAP gains (up to +20.1 for foliage) over detectors trained on uncamouflaged data. LoRA fine‑tuning further boosts performance for the more challenging multi‑spectral camouflage.

The paper introduces the Wide-area Spatio-temporal Scene Understanding (WSTU) problem, which demands simultaneous wide-area coverage, per-target resolution, and temporal continuity—capabilities lacking in existing datasets. To address this, the authors present HARD, an ultra‑high‑resolution (12768×9564) UAV dataset annotated for object detection, multi‑object tracking, and scene‑level visual question answering. They also propose a latency‑aware metric, streaming‑HOTA (s‑HOTA), and show through baseline experiments that high resolution and processing latency significantly impact detection, tracking, and VQA performance, revealing gaps in current methods for WSTU.
