  • 通过自适应证据调节机制,动态融合可信视觉特征。
  • 在27种退化类型下表现优异,严重退化时准确率提升15%以上。
  • 适合需要高鲁棒性地理定位的无人机/遥感应用。

无人机-卫星跨视图地理定位在干净图像上已取得优异精度,但在真实飞行中常受天气、光照、平台运动、传感器噪声和压缩等因素影响。本文构建了UAVSat-Deg大规模鲁棒性基准,包含University-1652-Deg和SUES-200-Deg两个数据集,涵盖27种退化类型(19种核心+8种复合),分三个严重程度,支持双向检索及多高度无人机采集,共包含超过1170万张预生成退化测试图像。在该基准上评估现有方法,发现其在严重和复合退化下存在显著性能差距。为此,我们提出ReLATE:一种基于可靠性引导的证据融合框架,通过结构平滑的可靠性场估计,聚合可信局部证据,并自适应融入查询特征;再结合CLS-token与GeM池化分支,形成最终跨视图描述符。ReLATE在两个测试集和双向检索中均实现最优的退化测试平均性能,同时保持对干净图像的竞争力。代码与数据集将开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-satellite cross-view geo-localization matches UAV images against satellite imagery and has achieved impressive accuracy on clean (non-degraded) image benchmarks. In real-world flights, however, UAV observations are frequently affected by adverse weather, illumination changes, platform motion, sensor noise, and compression, while the robustness of existing methods under such degradations remains largely unexamined. In this paper, we present UAVSat-Deg, a large-scale robustness benchmark for degraded UAV-satellite geo-localization, comprising University-1652-Deg and SUES-200-Deg. UAVSat-Deg covers 27 corruption types, including 19 core and 8 compound corruptions, at three severity levels, supports bidirectional drone-to-satellite and satellite-to-drone retrieval as well as multi-height UAV acquisition, and contains more than 11.7 million pre-generated corrupted test images. Benchmarking representative methods under this protocol reveals substantial robustness gaps, particularly under severe and compound corruptions. To address this problem, we propose ReLATE, a Reliable Evidence Learning framework with Adaptive Token Evidence Regulation, which realizes reliability-adaptive feature fusion during descriptor construction. ReLATE estimates a structure-smoothed reliability field over visual tokens, aggregates trustworthy local evidence, and adaptively integrates it into query-derived representations; the regulated query representations are then combined with the CLS-token and GeM-pooled branches to form the final cross-view descriptor. Across both test sets and retrieval directions, ReLATE achieves the best average corrupted-test performance among the compared methods while maintaining competitive accuracy on clean images. The code and dataset will be available at https://github.com/JHC626/ReLATE.
