As the low-altitude economy undergoes rapid growth, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have served as mobile sink nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), significantly enhancing data collection efficiency. However, the open nature of wireless channels...
Due to the objects in UAV aerial images often presenting characteristics of multiple scales, small objects, complex backgrounds, etc., the performance of object detection using current models is not satisfactory. To address the above issues, this pap...
Practical large-scale multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (multi-UAV) networks are susceptible to multiple potential points of vulnerability, such as hardware failures or adversarial attacks. Existing resilient multi-dimensional coordination control alg...
The geolocalization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in satellite-denied environments has emerged as a key research focus. Recent advancements in this area have been largely driven by learning-based frameworks that utilize convolutional neural netw...
In recent years, UAV formations have garnered significant attention in fields such as reconnaissance, communications, and transportation. This paper aims to design an efficient passive localization method for UAV formations that satisfies system elec...
Tethered drones—defined in this work as multirotor aerial platforms physically connected to a ground station via a cable—have emerged as a transformative subclass of Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAVs), offering enhanced power auton...
In this study, we introduce an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) centric visual semantic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) framework that integrates RGB–D cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and a 5G–enabled remote interact...
Autonomous exploration is a fundamental challenge for various applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). To enhance exploration efficiency in large-scale unknown environments, we propose a Fast Autonomous Exploration Framework (FAEM) designed t...
In order to solve the problems of identity solidification, key duration, and lack of anonymity in communications between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground control stations (GCSs), a mutual secure communication scheme named Dynamic Identity a...
UAV formation navigation in complex environments such as narrow tunnels faces multiple challenges, including obstacle avoidance, formation maintenance, and communication constraints. This paper proposes a cooperative obstacle avoidance strategy for U...
