小型无人机的持续微型化拓展了其在室内及难达区域的应用潜力，但飞行动态与功耗限制了自主性和任务能力。本文提出一种将神经3D重建（N3DR）集成至小型无人机系统的新方法，用于对小型静态物体进行细粒度三维数字重建。具体设计并评估了一条基于N3DR的流水线，采用Instant-ngp、Nerfacto和Splatfacto等先进模型，利用小型无人机编队拍摄的图像提升重建质量。通过多种影像与点云指标评估模型性能，并与基准结构光从运动（SfM）算法对比。实验结果表明，该增强型流水线显著提升重建质量，使小型无人机可在受限环境中支持高精度3D测绘与异常检测。结果表明，N3DR在提升微型无人机系统能力方面具有巨大潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The increasing miniaturization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has expanded their deployment potential to indoor and hard-to-reach areas. However, this trend introduces distinct challenges, particularly in terms of flight dynamics and power consumption, which limit the UAVs' autonomy and mission capabilities. This paper presents a novel approach to overcoming these limitations by integrating Neural 3D Reconstruction (N3DR) with small UAV systems for fine-grained 3-Dimensional (3D) digital reconstruction of small static objects. Specifically, we design, implement, and evaluate an N3DR-based pipeline that leverages advanced models, i.e., Instant-ngp, Nerfacto, and Splatfacto, to improve the quality of 3D reconstructions using images of the object captured by a fleet of small UAVs. We assess the performance of the considered models using various imagery and pointcloud metrics, comparing them against the baseline Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the N3DR-enhanced pipeline significantly improves reconstruction quality, making it feasible for small UAVs to support high-precision 3D mapping and anomaly detection in constrained environments. In more general terms, our results highlight the potential of N3DR in advancing the capabilities of miniaturized UAV systems.
