abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly prominence in recent years, finding applications in surveillance, package delivery, among many others. Despite considerable efforts in developing algorithms that enable UAVs to navigate through complex unknown environments autonomously, they often require expensive hardware and sensors, such as RGB-D cameras and 3D-LiDAR, leading to a persistent trade-off between performance and cost. To this end, we propose RELAX, a novel end-to-end autonomous framework that is exceptionally cost-efficient, requiring only a single 2D-LiDAR to enable UAVs operating in unknown environments. Specifically, RELAX comprises three components: a pre-processing map constructor; an offline mission planner; and a reinforcement learning (RL)-based online re-planner. Experiments demonstrate that RELAX offers more robust dynamic navigation compared to existing algorithms, while only costing a fraction of the others. The code will be made public upon acceptance.

MONA: Moving Object Detection from Videos Shot by Dynamic Camera

cs.CV · 2025-01-22 · reject · novelty 5.0

MONA detects moving objects by filtering YOLO boxes with LEAP-VO dynamic point probabilities and optical flow, then segments them with SAM; integrated with LEAP-VO it reports state-of-the-art trajectory accuracy on MPI Sintel.
