PiLoT v2: Pixel-to-Orthogonal Map Alignment for Free-view UAV Geo-localization
Xinyi Liu, Xiaoya Cheng, Rouwan Wu, Zhaochen Wang, Shen Yan, Maojun Zhang, et al.
Real-time, drift-free UAV geo-localization is essential for autonomous missions in GNSS-denied environments. The pioneering system, PiLoT, achieves high precision via Neural Pixel-to-3D Registration, aligning UAV video streams with a single rendered reference view from 3D meshes.…
