HUGE-Bench: A Benchmark for High-Level UAV Vision-Language-Action Tasks
Existing UAV vision-language navigation (VLN) benchmarks have enabled language-guided flight, but they largely focus on long, step-wise route descriptions with goal-centric evaluation, making them less diagnostic for real operations where brief, high-level commands must be grounded into safe multi-stage behaviors. We present HUGE-Bench, a benchmark for High-Level UAV Vision-Language-Action (HL-VLA) tasks that tests whether an […]
Dual Prompt-Driven Feature Encoding for Nighttime UAV Tracking
Robust feature encoding constitutes the foundation of UAV tracking by enabling the nuanced perception of target appearance and motion, thereby playing a pivotal role in ensuring reliable tracking. However, existing feature encoding methods often overlook critical illumination and viewpoint cues, which are essential for robust perception under challenging nighttime conditions, leading to degraded tracking performance. […]
