提出无人机动作识别的视角外泛化评测与自适应方法

UAV action recognition faces a deployment shift that standard benchmarks often obscure: a model trained on UAV footage captured from low-depression viewpoints may be required to recognize the same action classes from high-depression viewpoints. While the action labels remain unchanged, this shift alters body visibility, motion projection, and scene context, encouraging models to rely on viewpoint-specific shortcuts. We introduce UAV-OVO, an Out-of-Viewpoint generalization benchmark for UAV action recognition. UAV-OVO derives view scores from uncalibrated videos, uses a view-isolation band to assign low-depression videos to the training and in-distribution test splits while reserving high-depression videos for out-of-distribution testing, and constructs ID/OOD test sets matched by class distribution so that performance differences reflect viewpoint shift rather than label imbalance. Across representative video recognizers, UAV-OVO reveals a substantial ID/OOD gap: models that fit the low-depression training distribution well often fail to transfer to held-out high-depression views, exposing viewpoint shortcuts hidden by aggregate accuracy. We further propose LATER, LoRA-Anchored Test-time Re-centering, which first adapts the recognizer with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and then uses the learned LoRA subspace as a semantic anchor for online feature re-centering. Specifically, LATER projects target-domain displacement onto the orthogonal complement of the LoRA subspace before re-centering features, reducing viewpoint-induced drift while preserving task-relevant semantics. Together, UAV-OVO and LATER provide a controlled testbed and a practical adaptation method for viewpoint-robust UAV video understanding.
