Explainable and cyber-resilient vision transformers for joint steering and collision-avoidance perception in autonomous drone navigation: a multi-task Grad-CAM framework
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) flying through indoor corridors and other GNSS-denied environments cannot rely on satellite positioning, so a single monocular RGB camera is often the only sensing modality available. The navigation objective addressed in this paper is reactive, map-free corridor following: from each camera...
