用扩散模型提升无人机最后10米精准导航能力

In this work, we study the last-meter precision navigation for UAVs, e.g., autonomously reaching a target within the final 10 meters using monocular vision. This task is challenging due to scale ambiguity, rotation discontinuities, and the need for fine-grained spatial reasoning. Existing methods often fail under large viewpoint changes or lack generalization to unseen environments. To this end, we propose DreamNav, a coarse-to-fine diffusion-refined aerial visual servoing framework. In the first coarse-estimation stage, a robust regression policy employs a trigonometric parameterization to predict rotation by jointly modeling sine and cosine components, effectively mitigating optimization instabilities caused by angular periodicity. Given this coarse estimate, the second diffusion-refined stage utilizes a pre-trained world model to simulate future visual observations for candidate actions, selecting the trajectory that minimizes visual discrepancy with the target through a process of visual imagination. To support rigorous evaluation, we contribute PairUAV, a large-scale benchmark comprising 4.8 million image pairs across 72 scenes, curated from the University-1652 dataset. Extensive experiments show DreamNav outperforms strong visual servoing and foundation model baselines in accuracy and generalization, with zero-shot transfer to unseen scenes.
