UAV-UGV cooperation enhanced with confidence-gated heading alignment

Researchers have developed a confidence-gated framework for vision-based heading prediction in cooperative UAV-UGV systems. This system uses bounding-box area and heading variation as reliability proxies to determine when predicted headings should be issued as control commands. During low-confidence periods, the framework compares a baseline freeze-HOLD policy with a bounded-blend fallback, which conservatively updates commands. Evaluations on a real dataset demonstrate that this confidence gating offers a trade-off between execution rate, accuracy, and smoothness, significantly improving command behavior compared to the baseline freeze-HOLD policy under perturbed conditions.
