多无人机协同预测场景占据,提升感知精度与通信效率
MCOP: Multi-UAV Collaborative Occupancy Prediction
- 融合空间感知编码与跨机协作特征,保留3D结构和语义信息
- 在虚拟与真实数据集上达到领先精度,通信开销仅为旧方法的几分之一
- 适合需要高精度协同感知的无人机群应用,如搜救与巡检
无人飞行器(UAV)集群系统在多样任务场景中需高效协同感知机制。现有基于鸟瞰图(BEV)的方法存在两大缺陷:边界框表示难以完整捕捉场景的语义与几何信息,且对未定义或被遮挡物体性能显著下降。为此,本文提出一种新型多无人机协同占据预测框架。通过引入空间感知特征编码器与跨代理特征融合机制,有效保留三维空间结构与语义信息;为提升效率,进一步设计高度感知特征压缩模块以紧凑表达场景信息,并提出双掩码感知引导机制,自适应选择特征,降低通信开销。由于缺乏合适基准数据集,我们扩展了三个数据集用于评估:两个虚拟数据集(Air-to-Pred-Occ、UAV3D-Occ)和一个真实世界数据集(GauUScene-Occ)。实验结果表明,该方法在精度上达到当前最优水平,显著优于现有协同方法,同时将通信开销压缩至原有方法的极小比例。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm systems necessitate efficient collaborative perception mechanisms for diverse operational scenarios. Current Bird's Eye View (BEV)-based approaches exhibit two main limitations: bounding-box representations fail to capture complete semantic and geometric information of the scene, and their performance significantly degrades when encountering undefined or occluded objects. To address these limitations, we propose a novel multi-UAV collaborative occupancy prediction framework. Our framework effectively preserves 3D spatial structures and semantics through integrating a Spatial-Aware Feature Encoder and Cross-Agent Feature Integration. To enhance efficiency, we further introduce Altitude-Aware Feature Reduction to compactly represent scene information, along with a Dual-Mask Perceptual Guidance mechanism to adaptively select features and reduce communication overhead. Due to the absence of suitable benchmark datasets, we extend three datasets for evaluation: two virtual datasets (Air-to-Pred-Occ and UAV3D-Occ) and one real-world dataset (GauUScene-Occ). Experiments results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, significantly outperforming existing collaborative methods while reducing communication overhead to only a fraction of previous approaches.
