Researchers have developed VehAnchor, a new tool designed to help LLM-based agents accurately determine the metric scale of aerial imagery, even in GPS-denied environments. This system addresses the critical safety issue of "spatial scale hallucinations" observed in current large vision-language models, which can lead to significant errors in area estimation. VehAnchor functions as a callable geometric perception skill, utilizing detected vehicles as environmental anchors to calculate Ground Sample Distance (GSD) and providing a confidence score to the agent. When integrated with segmentation models like SAM, VehAnchor significantly reduces area measurement errors and category dependence compared to existing VLM baselines. AI
