PATH: Continuous Target Sensing among Autonomous Cooperative Drones

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

Continuous target sensing by uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) is constrained by limited flight endurance, motivating the transfer of tracking responsibility between cooperating UAVs. Such a handoff requires the receiver to identify the same physical target currently tracked by the sender despite differences in viewpoint, scale, and target appearance. Existing approaches based on global target localization or appearance-based cross-view association are limited by positioning uncertainty or ambiguous visual features. This paper presents Perspective Alignment \& Tracking Handoff (\textbf{PATH}), a
