Researchers have developed DisasterRoute, a novel framework designed to improve visual question answering for disaster response using low-altitude UAV imagery. This system combines a specialized vision-language model, Disaster-S1, for rapid direct decision-making with a more complex reasoning model, DisasterVL, for challenging questions. DisasterRoute intelligently routes queries based on prediction confidence and disaster evidence, optimizing computational resources by invoking the reasoning model only when necessary. Experiments on the DisasterBench dataset demonstrate that this approach enhances accuracy while maintaining efficiency, offering a significant advantage for time-sensitive disaster management scenarios.
