This article categorizes existing UAV inspection architectures, identifies their key system challenges and architectural requirements, and experimentally assesses the feasibility of semantic edge intelligence on NVIDIA Jetson UAV-class hardware using the COCO-Bridge dataset.
This paper benchmarks the performance trade-offs among fully onboard, cloud-based, and split-computing architectures for lightweight VLMs using SmolVLM-256M as a representative lightweight VLM and shows that no deployment strategy is universally optimal.

Inspection of critical infrastructure, such as power lines, is increasingly conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that capture aerial video for subsequent human review. Although recent edge-based approaches deploy onboard object detectors to identify predefined defect classes, these pipelines remain closed-se...

This paper employs five lightweight machine learning models to predict query-specific latency, accuracy, resource usage, and response size for each model-size-quantization-device combination, and design a lightweight heuristic that approximates the BILP solution.
