New framework improves UAV-UGV heading prediction reliability

This paper introduces a confidence-gated framework for vision-based heading prediction in UAV-UGV cooperative systems. The proposed method uses bounding-box area and heading variation as reliability proxies to determine when to trust the predicted heading for control commands. During low-confidence periods, it compares a baseline freeze-HOLD policy with a bounded-blend fallback, demonstrating that this approach improves command issuance accuracy and smoothness compared to simply holding commands. AI

    Confidence-Gated Vision-Only Heading Alignment for UAV-UGV Cooperative Systems

    Vision-based heading prediction is useful for UAV--UGV cooperation, but accurate prediction alone does not guarantee that every predicted heading should be issued directly as a control command. This paper investigates the decision problem of when and how a fixed vision-based head…
