A prompt-robust vision-language detector for accurate UAV inventory inspection in power-material warehouses
摘要
UAV-based visual sensing for power-material warehouse inventory requires robust detection under dense small objects, large scale variation, and cluttered backgrounds. In addition, inconsistent naming of similar equipment makes text-guided detectors sensitive to prompt rephrasing, limiting practical usability. To address these issues, we improve YOLOE-11s for prompt-robust UAV inventory inspection. The proposed method integrates C3k2_FDConv for frequency-aware feature enhancement, Focal-CIoU for hard-sample-aware box regression, and a multi-scale image-text fusion scheme with teacher-student distillation to improve prompt robustness during training while preserving single-prompt inference at deployment. On an UAV warehouse dataset, the proposed method improves mAP@0.5:0.95 from 0.811 to 0.866 over YOLOE-11s and achieves 0.777 average mAP@0.5 under multi-prompt evaluation. On VisDrone, it further improves mAP@0.5:0.95 from 0.240 to 0.255 under the standard evaluation setting, indicating the transferability of the proposed design beyond the warehouse dataset.
