Understanding Dynamic Scenes at Gigapixel Scale: Wide-Area Spatio-Temporal Perception from UAVs

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

UAV-borne imaging has advanced from megapixel to gigapixel sensors, shifting aerial perception from recognizing individual targets to understanding entire dynamic scenes. We characterize this demand as Wide-area Spatio-temporal Scene Understanding (WSTU), which requires wide-area coverage, per-target resolution, and temporal continuity at once, a combination existing datasets lack. To fill this gap, we introduce an ultra-High-resolution (12768x9564) Airborne Remote-sensing Dataset (HARD) annotated at three levels for object detection, multi-object tracking, and scene-level visual question answ
