  • 用视野大小和航向变化率作为可靠性指标,判断何时信任预测结果
  • 低置信度时采用保守更新策略,避免指令滞后导致错误
  • 实测表明该方法在干扰环境下显著提升指令准确性和流畅性

基于视觉的航向预测对无人机-地面机器人协同系统有重要意义,但仅靠预测准确并不意味着每个预测结果都应直接作为控制指令。本文研究了在何种条件下以及如何信任一个固定的视觉航向预测器来发布指令。提出一种轻量级置信度门控框架,通过感知流中的两个可解释可靠性代理做出执行决策:边界框面积(反映可见性)和短时窗口内航向变化(反映稳定性)。在低置信度区间,框架比较基准冻结指令(HOLD)策略与有界融合回退策略,后者以保守方式更新发布指令。在真实无人机-地面机器人数据集上,于正常和扰动条件下进行评估。结果显示,置信度门控在执行率、执行帧准确率、发布指令准确率和平滑性之间形成明显权衡。进一步发现,稀疏执行会导致基准冻结策略出现严重过时指令错误,而有界融合回退策略在相同门控决策下显著改善指令层面行为。这些发现表明,可靠的感知驱动自主系统不仅依赖预测精度,还需在低置信度时进行决策感知的指令发布。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Vision-based heading prediction is useful for UAV--UGV cooperation, but accurate prediction alone does not guarantee that every predicted heading should be issued directly as a control command. This paper investigates the decision problem of when and how a fixed vision-based heading predictor should be trusted for command issuance. A lightweight confidence-gated framework is proposed in which execution decisions are made using two interpretable reliability proxies derived from the perception stream: bounding-box area as a visibility-related proxy and short-window variation in predicted heading as a stability-related proxy. During low-confidence intervals, the framework compares the baseline freeze-HOLD policy with a bounded-blend fallback that updates the issued command conservatively. The method is evaluated on a real UAV--UGV dataset under clean and perturbed conditions. The results show that confidence gating creates a clear trade-off among execution rate, executed-frame accuracy, issued-command accuracy, and smoothness. The results further show that sparse execution can cause severe stale-command error under the baseline freeze-HOLD policy, whereas the bounded-blend fallback substantially improves command-level behavior under the same gate decisions. These findings highlight that reliable perception-driven autonomy depends not only on prediction accuracy, but also on decision-aware command issuance during low-confidence
