  • 雾中检测与跟踪性能显著下降,主要因漏检率上升;含雾训练提升鲁棒性最优。

雾严重影响远距离天空主导影像中小型无人机的可见性,降低下游检测与跟踪的可靠性。本文提出一个任务驱动的评估框架,将深度感知的合成雾生成、图像修复、目标检测与跟踪集成于统一流程中。由于真实雾天无人机场景的采集与标注困难,采用单目深度估计和大气散射模型,从真实晴天户外图像中生成含雾无人机图像。首先对比经典、卷积神经网络(CNN)及基于变压器的代表性修复方法,随后将优选修复模型嵌入下游感知流程。在仅清洁数据和含雾数据两种训练策略下评估多个检测器的检测性能,并在清洁、含雾及修复视频序列上评估基于检测的跟踪表现。除图像级修复指标外,还考察雾与修复对检测鲁棒性及跟踪性能的影响。结果表明,雾显著降低检测与跟踪性能,主要源于漏检增多;含雾训练提供最一致的鲁棒性提升,而测试时修复在仅清洁数据训练的检测器上最为有益。研究揭示,修复质量并不必然带来下游感知性能的成比例提升,因此应联合检测与跟踪性能共同评估。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fog severely degrades the visibility of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in skydominant, long-range imagery, reducing the reliability of downstream detection and tracking. This paper presents a task-driven evaluation framework that links depth-aware synthetic fog generation, image restoration, object detection, and tracking within a unified pipeline. Given the practical difficulty of collecting and annotating foggy UAV scenes, synthetic fog is generated from real clear-weather outdoor images containing UAV targets using monocular depth estimation and the atmospheric scattering model. Representative restoration methods from classical, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based, and transformer-based families are first compared, after which the selected restoration model is integrated into the downstream perception pipeline. Detection is evaluated under both clean-only and fog-inclusive training regimes using multiple detector variants, while tracking-by-detection is assessed on clean, foggy, and restored video sequences. Beyond image-level restoration metrics, the study evaluates how fog and restoration affect detection robustness and tracking performance. The results show that fog substantially degrades both detection and tracking, primarily through increased missed detections. Fog-inclusive training provides the most consistent improvement in robustness, whereas test-time restoration is most beneficial when the detector has been trained only on clean imagery. These findings show that restoration quality does not necessarily translate into proportional gains in downstream perception and therefore should be evaluated jointly with detection and tracking performance.
