The UAV Perception Challenge: Bridging the Semantic Gap
Traditional Vision-Language Models (VLMs) struggle with UAV imagery due to inherent complexities like dense targets, significant scale variations, and cluttered backgrounds. Simple, user-provided prompts often lack the granular detail needed to semantically align visual and textual tokens, leading to inaccurate perception. This critical limitation impacts autonomous navigation, surveillance, and mapping.
AerialVP: The Prompt Enhancement Agent Framework
AerialVP is the first agent framework specifically designed for task prompt enhancement in UAV image perception. By proactively extracting multi-dimensional auxiliary information (semantic, spatial position, spatial relationship) from UAV images, AerialVP generates enhanced prompts. This guides VLMs to focus accurately on task-relevant information, significantly improving image-text alignment without requiring additional model training.

Transformative Outcomes: Accuracy, Robustness, Interpretability
AerialVP significantly enhances VLM accuracy, robustness, and interpretability across all three perception tasks (Visual Grounding, Reasoning, Question Answering). This training-free methodology offers a scalable pathway towards reliable UAV perception in complex aerial scenarios. Enhanced prompts ensure finer image-text alignment, better target localization, and more coherent reasoning.
