CADA-Net: cross-altitude domain-adaptive perception for label-efficient onboard sensing in autonomous UAVs

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) depend on onboard perception as the front end of their sensing-decision-control loop, where each detection feeds directly into the navigation, avoidance, and tracking decisions made in flight. Yet detectors trained at one altitude routinely degrade when the platform is redeplo...
