 Landing.ai’s upcoming project in agentic retrieval is an exciting development in the broader AI ecosystem, promising to make information access more adaptive and context-aware. Their focus is on enabling systems to retrieve knowledge dynamically, orchestrating multiple agents to synthesize answers from diverse sources. This is powerful in domains like enterprise knowledge management or manufacturing workflows, where structured data and text-based repositories dominate. Yet when it comes to aerial drone imagery—where the raw input is not text but high‑volume, high‑velocity video streams—their approach does not compete with the specialized capabilities of our drone video sensing analytics software.

Our platform is built for the unique physics and semantics of aerial data. At 100 meters above ground, every frame carries not just pixels but geospatial meaning: terrain contours, object trajectories, environmental anomalies. Agentic retrieval excels at pulling documents or structured records into coherent narratives, but it lacks the ability to interpret dynamic visual signals in real time. Our analytics pipeline, by contrast, fuses centimeter‑level geolocation with transformer‑based object detection, clustering, and multimodal vector search. This means that when a drone captures a convoy moving across a field or vegetation encroaching on power lines, our system doesn’t just retrieve information—it understands, contextualizes, and predicts.

Another distinction lies in temporal intelligence. Landing.ai’s retrieval agents are designed to answer queries by orchestrating knowledge sources, but they are not optimized for continuous sensing. Drone video analytics requires temporal modeling: tracking objects across frames, detecting behavioral patterns, and correlating them with geospatial coordinates. Our software can, for example, identify unsafe proximity between personnel and heavy machinery over time, or forecast crop stress zones based on evolving spectral signatures. This temporal dimension is critical in aerial applications, and it is something agentic retrieval, as currently conceived, does not address.

Scale and resilience also set our system apart. Drone imagery is massive, often terabytes per mission, and must be processed under conditions where GNSS signals may degrade or connectivity may be intermittent. Our architecture accounts for this with edge‑cloud workflows, error‑resistant scripting, and RTK‑corrected positioning from networks like GEODNET. Landing.ai’s retrieval agents, while sophisticated in orchestrating queries, are not designed for degraded environments or for fusing sensor data with geospatial corrections. They thrive in structured, connected contexts; our system thrives in contested, dynamic ones.

Finally, the use cases diverge. Landing.ai’s project will likely empower enterprises to query knowledge bases more fluidly, but our drone video sensing analytics unlocks autonomy in the skies and on the ground. It enables construction managers to quantify material movement, utilities to map buried infrastructure, farmers to monitor crop health, and defense teams to track adversary movement—all with centimeter precision and semantic clarity. These are mission‑critical applications where retrieval alone is insufficient; what matters is perception, prediction, and contextual decision‑making.

Agentic retrieval is a promising tool for knowledge orchestration, but it does not compete with the domain‑specific rigor of our drone video analytics. Our platform transforms aerial imagery into actionable intelligence, bridging the gap between pixels and decisions. Landing.ai’s agents may retrieve information; our system senses, interprets, and acts—making it indispensable in the autonomy era.

 SkyFoundry, as a US Army program, represents a bold shift in how defense logistics and battlefield autonomy are conceived. The program’s mandate to mass‑produce drones at unprecedented scale—tens of thousands per month, with a goal of one million units in just a few years—signals not only a technological leap but a cultural one. Yet scale alone does not guarantee effectiveness. What transforms a swarm of drones from a fleet of flying machines into a cohesive force multiplier is intelligence, context, and adaptability. This is precisely where a contextual copilot, powered by our drone vision analytics, can redefine SkyFoundry’s mission. 

SkyFoundry is about resilience and independence: building drones domestically, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains, and ensuring that U.S. forces have a reliable, attritable aerial capability. A contextual copilot extends this resilience into the operational domain. By fusing centimeter‑level positioning from networks like GEODNET with semantic video analytics, every drone becomes more than a disposable asset—it becomes a sensor, a scout, and a decision‑support node. Instead of simply flying pre‑programmed routes, drones can interpret their environment, detect threats, and relay contextual intelligence back to commanders in real time. 

Consider contested environments where GPS jamming, spoofing, or electronic warfare is prevalent. Traditional autonomy stacks may struggle to maintain accuracy or situational awareness. Our analytics pipeline can validate positional data against visual cues, flagging anomalies when signals drift, and ensuring that SkyFoundry drones remain operationally trustworthy. This feedback loop strengthens the swarm’s resilience, allowing commanders to act with confidence even in degraded conditions. 

The synergy with military doctrine is profound. SkyFoundry drones are envisioned as attritable—low‑cost, expendable systems that can saturate the battlespace. A contextual copilot ensures that even expendable drones contribute lasting value. Each unit can capture video, annotate it with semantic tags—enemy movement, terrain changes, equipment positions—and feed that data into a shared reality layer. Commanders don’t just see dots on a map; they see a living, annotated battlefield, enriched by thousands of contextual observations. This transforms attrition into intelligence, where every drone lost has already contributed meaning. 

Training and operational readiness also benefit. SkyFoundry’s scale demands rapid deployment and integration into diverse units. A contextual copilot can simplify this by providing intuitive overlays and automated insights, reducing the cognitive load on operators. Soldiers don’t need to interpret raw imagery; they receive contextual alerts—“vehicle detected,” “bridge compromised,” “crowd movement ahead”—anchored in precise geolocation. This accelerates decision cycles and ensures that even non‑specialist units can leverage drone intelligence effectively. 

The copilot also unlocks new mission profiles. In logistics, drones could deliver supplies while simultaneously mapping terrain obstacles. In reconnaissance, they could detect camouflaged assets or track adversary movements with semantic precision. In humanitarian operations, they could identify survivors, assess damage, and guide relief efforts—all while feeding contextual data into command systems. Each of these scenarios expands SkyFoundry’s relevance beyond attrition warfare into broader autonomy ecosystems. 

The contextual copilot transforms SkyFoundry from a drone factory into an intelligence factory. It ensures that every unit, whether attritable or durable, contributes not just presence but perception, not just flight but foresight. By embedding our drone vision analytics into SkyFoundry’s workflows, the program can deliver a new standard of battlefield awareness—where autonomy is not only mass‑produced but contextually intelligent, seamlessly integrated into the fabric of modern defense. In doing so, SkyFoundry positions itself as more than a supplier of drones; it becomes the architect of a resilient, adaptive, and intelligent autonomy layer for U.S. military operations.

 End-to-End Object Detection with Transformers for Aerial Drone Images

End-to-End Object Detection with Transformers for Aerial Drone Images

Abstract

Introduction

Related Work

The DroneDETR Model

Experiments

Conclusion

Abstract

We present a novel approach to object detection in aerial drone imagery by extending the end-to-end detection paradigm introduced by DETR to the unique challenges of high-altitude, wide-area visual data. Traditional aerial detection pipelines rely heavily on handcrafted components such as anchor generation, multi-scale feature pyramids, and non-maximum suppression to handle the variability of object sizes and densities. Our method, DroneDETR, eliminates these components by framing detection as a direct set prediction problem. Leveraging a transformer encoder-decoder architecture, DroneDETR reasons globally about spatial context and object relations, while a bipartite matching loss enforces unique assignments between predictions and ground truth. We demonstrate that this approach achieves competitive accuracy compared to established baselines on aerial datasets, particularly excelling in large-scale geospatial scenes where contextual reasoning is critical. Furthermore, DroneDETR generalizes naturally to segmentation tasks, enabling unified panoptic analysis of aerial imagery. We provide code and pretrained models to encourage adoption in the aerial analytics community.

Introduction

Aerial drone imagery has become a cornerstone of modern geospatial analytics, with applications ranging from urban planning and agriculture to disaster response and wildlife monitoring. The task of object detection in this domain is particularly challenging due to the wide range of object scales, the frequent occlusions caused by environmental structures, and the need to process large images efficiently. Conventional detectors approach this problem indirectly, relying on anchors, proposals, or grid centers to generate candidate regions. These methods are sensitive to the design of anchors and require extensive postprocessing, such as non-maximum suppression, to eliminate duplicate predictions.

Inspired by advances in end-to-end structured prediction tasks such as machine translation, we propose a direct set prediction approach for aerial object detection. Our model, DroneDETR, adapts the DETR framework to aerial imagery by combining a convolutional backbone with a transformer encoder-decoder. The model predicts all objects simultaneously, trained with a bipartite matching loss that enforces one-to-one correspondence between predictions and ground truth. This design removes the need for anchors and postprocessing, streamlining the detection pipeline.

DroneDETR is particularly well-suited to aerial imagery and DOTA (Dataset for Object Detection in Aerial Images) because transformers excel at modeling long-range dependencies. In aerial scenes, objects such as vehicles, buildings, or trees often appear in structured spatial arrangements, and global reasoning is essential to distinguish them from background clutter. Our experiments show that DroneDETR achieves strong performance on aerial datasets, outperforming baselines on large-object detection while maintaining competitive accuracy on small objects.

Related Work

Object detection in aerial imagery has traditionally relied on adaptations of ground-level detectors such as Faster R-CNN or YOLO. These methods incorporate multi-scale feature pyramids to handle the extreme variation in object sizes, from small pedestrians to large buildings. However, their reliance on anchors and heuristic assignment rules introduces complexity and limits generalization.

Set prediction approaches, such as those based on bipartite matching losses, provide a more principled solution by enforcing permutation invariance and eliminating duplicates. DETR pioneered this approach in natural images, demonstrating that transformers can replace handcrafted components. In aerial imagery, several works have explored attention mechanisms to capture spatial relations, but most still rely on anchors or proposals. DroneDETR builds on DETR by applying parallel decoding transformers to aerial data, enabling efficient global reasoning across large-scale scenes.

The DroneDETR Model

DroneDETR consists of three main components: a CNN backbone, a transformer encoder-decoder, and feed-forward prediction heads. The backbone extracts high-level features from aerial images, which are often large and require downsampling for computational efficiency. These features are flattened and supplemented with positional encodings before being passed to the transformer encoder.

The encoder models global interactions across the entire image, capturing contextual relations between distant objects. The decoder operates on a fixed set of learned object queries, each attending to the encoder output to produce predictions. Unlike autoregressive models, DroneDETR decodes all objects in parallel, ensuring scalability for large aerial scenes.

Predictions are generated by feed-forward networks that output bounding box coordinates and class labels. A special “no object” class handles empty slots, allowing the model to predict a fixed-size set larger than the actual number of objects. Training is guided by a bipartite matching loss, computed via the Hungarian algorithm, which enforces unique assignments between predictions and ground truth. The loss combines classification terms with a bounding box regression term based on a linear combination of L1 and generalized IoU losses, ensuring scale-invariance across diverse object sizes.

Experiments

We evaluate DroneDETR on aerial datasets such as DOTA and VisDrone, which contain diverse scenes with varying object densities and scales. Training follows the DETR protocol, using AdamW optimization and long schedules to stabilize transformer learning. We compare DroneDETR against Faster R-CNN and RetinaNet baselines adapted for aerial imagery.

Results show that DroneDETR achieves comparable mean average precision to tuned baselines, with notable improvements in detecting large-scale objects such as buildings and vehicles. Performance on small objects, such as pedestrians, is lower, reflecting the limitations of global attention at fine scales. However, incorporating dilated backbones improves small-object detection, at the cost of higher computational overhead.

Qualitative analysis highlights DroneDETR’s ability to reason globally about spatial context, correctly distinguishing vehicles in crowded parking lots and separating overlapping structures without reliance on non-maximum suppression. Furthermore, extending DroneDETR with a segmentation head enables unified panoptic segmentation, outperforming baselines in pixel-level recognition tasks.

Conclusion

We have introduced DroneDETR, an end-to-end transformer-based detector for aerial drone imagery. By framing detection as a direct set prediction problem, DroneDETR eliminates anchors and postprocessing, simplifying the pipeline while enabling global reasoning. Our experiments demonstrate competitive performance on aerial datasets, with particular strengths in large-object detection and contextual reasoning. Future work will focus on improving small-object detection through multi-scale attention and exploring real-time deployment on edge devices for autonomous drone platforms.

 Skyways Drones has long positioned itself at the intersection of aerial logistics and autonomous flights, pioneering drone delivery systems that promise to reshape how goods and services move through the air. Yet as the industry matures, the challenge is no longer just about flying safely from point A to point B—it’s about embedding intelligence into every mission, ensuring that drones don’t simply navigate but understand. This is where a contextual copilot, powered by our drone vision analytics, can elevate Skyways Drones into a new era of operational precision and trust.

At its foundation, Skyways Drones focuses on reliable aerial delivery, whether for medical supplies, critical infrastructure components, or consumer goods. A contextual copilot adds a semantic layer to this reliability. By fusing centimeter-level positioning from GEODNET’s RTK corrections with our advanced video analytics, every flight becomes more than a trajectory—it becomes a stream of contextual awareness. The drone doesn’t just know its route; it perceives obstacles, interprets behaviors, and anticipates environmental changes. For Skyways, this means deliveries that are not only accurate but situationally intelligent, capable of adapting to dynamic urban or rural landscapes.

Consider the complexities of last-mile delivery in dense cities. Traditional autonomy stacks can localize and avoid static obstacles, but they often struggle with transient events—pedestrians crossing unexpectedly, construction zones appearing overnight, or traffic congestion spilling into delivery corridors. Our analytics pipeline can detect and classify these events in real time, feeding them into the copilot’s decision-making layer. Skyways drones could then reroute dynamically, adjust descent paths, or delay drop-offs with full awareness of context. The result is a delivery system that feels less mechanical and more human-aware, building trust with regulators and communities alike.

The synergy extends into Skyways’ logistics backbone. Their promise of scalable aerial delivery depends on fleet coordination and operational efficiency. A contextual copilot can provide shared semantic maps across multiple drones, ensuring that each unit not only follows its path but contributes to a collective understanding of the environment. If one drone detects a temporary no-fly zone or weather anomaly, that information can be broadcast to the fleet, enriching MeshMap-like reality layers with live annotations. This transforms Skyways’ network into a resilient, adaptive system where every drone is both a courier and a sensor.

Training and compliance also benefit. Skyways works closely with regulators to ensure safety and reliability. A contextual copilot can generate annotated video records of each mission, documenting compliance with airspace rules, obstacle avoidance, and delivery protocols. These records become defensible evidence for audits, insurance claims, or public transparency initiatives. For Skyways’ clients—hospitals, municipalities, logistics firms—this assurance is invaluable, turning drone delivery from a novelty into a trusted utility.

The copilot also unlocks new verticals. In emergency response, Skyways drones equipped with our analytics could deliver supplies while simultaneously mapping damage zones, detecting survivors, or identifying blocked roads. In agriculture, they could combine delivery of inputs with aerial monitoring of crop health, creating a dual-purpose workflow. In infrastructure, drones could deliver tools while inspecting bridges or power lines, feeding contextual data back into digital twin platforms. Each of these scenarios expands Skyways’ relevance beyond logistics into broader autonomy ecosystems.

The contextual copilot transforms Skyways Drones from a delivery company into an intelligence company. It ensures that every mission is not just a flight but a conversation with the environment—interpreting, adapting, and learning. By embedding our drone vision analytics into their operations, Skyways can deliver not only packages but confidence, not only speed but situational awareness. And in doing so, they move closer to a future where aerial logistics is not just autonomous, but contextually intelligent, seamlessly integrated into the fabric of everyday life.

 Nine Ten Drones has built its reputation on helping organizations unlock the promise of UAVs through training, consulting, and operational deployment. Yet as the industry shifts from experimentation to scaled autonomy, the next frontier is not simply flying drones—it’s making sense of the data they capture in real time. This is where a contextual copilot, powered by our drone vision analytics, can transform Nine Ten Drones’ mission from enabling flight to enabling intelligence.

Nine Ten Drones is about empowering operators to use UAVs safely and effectively across industries like public safety, infrastructure, and agriculture. A contextual copilot adds a new dimension: it becomes the bridge between raw aerial footage and actionable insight. By fusing centimeter-level geolocation from networks like GEODNET with semantic video analytics, the copilot can annotate every frame with meaning. A drone surveying a highway isn’t just recording asphalt—it’s identifying lane markings, traffic density, and potential hazards. A drone flying over farmland isn’t just capturing crops—it detects stress zones, irrigation anomalies, and pest activity. For Nine Ten Drones’ clients, this means training programs and operational workflows can evolve from “how to fly” into “how to interpret and act.”

The synergy with Nine Ten Drones’ consulting practice is particularly powerful. Their teams already advise municipalities, utilities, and enterprises on how to integrate UAVs into daily operations. With a contextual copilot, those recommendations can be backed by live, annotated datasets. A police department could review drone footage not just for situational awareness but for automated detection of crowd movement patterns. A utility company could receive alerts when vegetation encroaches on power lines, flagged directly in the video stream. The copilot becomes a trusted assistant, guiding operators toward decisions that are faster, safer, and more defensible.

Training is another area where the copilot amplifies Nine Ten Drones’ impact. Instead of teaching students to interpret raw imagery, instructors can use the copilot to demonstrate how analytics enrich the picture. A trainee flying a mission over a construction site could see real-time overlays of equipment usage, safety compliance, or material stockpiles. This accelerates learning curves and prepares operators for data-driven workflows that modern autonomy demands. It also positions Nine Ten Drones as not just a training provider but a gateway to advanced geospatial intelligence.

Operationally, the contextual copilot enhances resilience. Nine Ten Drones emphasizes safe, repeatable missions, but GNSS signals and coverage can be inconsistent. By combining GEODNET’s decentralized RTK corrections with our analytics, the copilot can validate positional accuracy against visual cues, flagging anomalies when signals drift. This feedback loop strengthens trust in the data, ensuring that every mission produces results that are both precise and reliable. For industries like emergency response or environmental monitoring, reliability is not optional—it’s mission-critical.

Most importantly, the copilot aligns with Nine Ten Drones’ philosophy of democratizing UAV adoption. Their vision is to make drones accessible to organizations that may lack deep technical expertise. A contextual copilot embodies that ethos by lowering the barrier to insight. Operators don’t need to be data scientists to benefit from semantic overlays, predictive alerts, or geospatial indexing. They simply fly their missions, and the copilot translates video into meaning. This accessibility expands use cases—from small-town public works departments to large-scale agricultural cooperatives—without requiring specialized analytics teams.

Nine Ten Drones equips people to fly drones; our contextual copilot equips those drones to think. Together, they create an ecosystem where UAVs are not just airborne cameras but intelligent agents of autonomy. The result is a future where every mission—whether for safety, infrastructure, or agriculture—produces not just imagery but insight, not just data but decisions. And that is how Nine Ten Drones, with the help of our analytics, can lead the industry into the autonomy era.

 MeshMap’s ambition to build a reality layer for AR and autonomy finds its most potent ally in a contextual copilot powered by our drone video analytics. As Apollo and Autoware continue to define the frontier of autonomous navigation—Apollo with its robust commercial-grade stack and Autoware with its open-source flexibility—the missing link is often not just localization or path planning, but the semantic understanding of the environment itself. That’s where our platform steps in, transforming raw aerial video into a rich, queryable layer of spatial intelligence that MeshMap can use to anchor its reality modeling.

Imagine a copilot that doesn’t just know where it is but understands what it sees. Our analytics pipeline, trained to detect and classify objects, behaviors, and anomalies in drone footage, can feed MeshMap with real-time semantic overlays. These overlays—vehicles, pedestrians, construction zones, vegetation boundaries, or even transient events like flooding or traffic congestion—become part of MeshMap’s spatial graph. The result is a living map, not just a static reconstruction. Apollo’s localization module can now align not only with GNSS and LiDAR but with dynamic semantic cues. Autoware’s behavior planner can factor in contextual risks like crowd density or temporary obstructions, inferred directly from our video analytics.

This copilot isn’t just reactive—it’s anticipatory. By fusing temporal patterns from drone footage with spatial precision from GEODNET RTK corrections, our system can forecast changes in the environment. For example, in urban mobility scenarios, it might detect recurring pedestrian flows near school zones at certain times, flagging them for Apollo’s prediction module. In agricultural autonomy, it could identify crop stress zones or irrigation anomalies, feeding that into MeshMap’s AR interface for field operators. The copilot becomes a bridge between perception and decision-making, enriching autonomy stacks with context that traditional sensors miss.

MeshMap’s strength lies in its ability to render high-resolution spatial meshes for AR and autonomy. But without semantic annotation, these meshes are visually rich yet cognitively sparse. Our analytics layer can tag these meshes with object identities, motion vectors, and behavioral metadata. A parked car isn’t just a polygon—it’s a known entity with a timestamped trajectory. A construction site isn’t just a texture—it’s a zone with inferred risk levels and operational constraints. This transforms MeshMap from a visualization tool into a decision-support system.

The copilot also enables multi-agent coordination. In swarm scenarios—whether drones, delivery bots, or autonomous vehicles—our analytics can provide a shared semantic map that each agent can query. Apollo’s routing engine can now avoid not just static obstacles but dynamic ones inferred from aerial video. Autoware’s costmap can be enriched with probabilistic risk zones derived from our behavioral models. MeshMap becomes the shared canvas, and our copilot becomes the brush that paints it with meaning.

From a systems architecture perspective, our copilot can be deployed as a modular service—ingesting drone video, applying transformer-based detection, and publishing semantic layers via APIs. These layers can be consumed by MeshMap’s rendering engine, Apollo’s perception stack, or Autoware’s planning modules. With GEODNET’s RTK backbone ensuring centimeter-level geolocation, every semantic tag is spatially anchored, enabling precise fusion across modalities.

Finally, this contextual copilot doesn’t just enhance MeshMap—it redefines it. It turns MeshMap into a semantic twin of the physical world, one that autonomous systems can not only see but understand. And in doing so, it brings autonomy closer to human-level perception—where decisions are made not just on geometry, but on meaning.

A Contextual Copilot for Apollo and Autoware: Enhancing Trajectory Intelligence with Drone Vision Analytics 

As autonomous driving platforms like Apollo and Autoware evolve toward higher levels of autonomy, the need for contextual intelligence—beyond raw sensor fusion and rule-based planning—becomes increasingly critical. While these platforms excel in structured environments using LiDAR, radar, and HD maps, they often lack the semantic depth and temporal foresight that a vision-driven analytics layer can provide. This is where our drone-based video sensing architecture, enriched by importance sampling, online traffic overlays, and agentic retrieval, offers transformative potential: a contextual copilot that augments autonomy with memory, judgment, and adaptive feedback. 

Apollo and Autoware typically operate with modular autonomy stacks: perception, localization, prediction, planning, and control. These modules rely heavily on real-time sensor input and preloaded maps, which can falter in dynamic or degraded conditions—poor visibility, occlusions, or unexpected traffic behavior. Our system introduces a complementary layer: a selective sampling engine that curates high-value video frames from vehicle-mounted or aerial cameras, forming a spatiotemporal catalog of environmental states and trajectory outcomes. This catalog becomes a living memory of the road, encoding not just what was seen, but how the vehicle responded and what alternatives existed. 

By applying importance samplingour copilot prioritizes frames with semantic richness—intersections, merges, pedestrian zones, or adverse weather—creating a dense vector space of contextually significant moments. These vectors are indexed by time, location, and scenario type, enabling retrospective analysis and predictive planning. For example, if a vehicle encounters a foggy roundabout, our system can retrieve clear-weather samples from similar geometry, overlay traffic flow data, and suggest trajectory adjustments based on historical success rates. 

This retrieval is powered by agentic query framing, where the copilot interprets system or user intent—“What’s the safest merge strategy here?” or “How did similar vehicles handle this turn during rain?”—and matches it against cataloged vectors and online traffic feeds. The result is a semantic response, not just a geometric path: a recommendation grounded in prior experience, enriched by real-time data, and tailored to current conditions. 

Unlike Tesla’s end-to-end vision stack, which learns control directly from video, Apollo and Autoware maintain modularity for flexibility and transparency. Our copilot respects this architecture, acting as a non-invasive overlay that feeds contextual insights into the planning module. It does not replace the planner—it informs it, offering trajectory scores, visibility-adjusted lane preferences, and fallback strategies when primary sensors degrade. 

Moreover, our system’s integration with online maps and traffic information allows for dynamic trip planning. By fusing congestion data, road closures, and weather overlays with cataloged trajectory vectors, the copilot can simulate route outcomes, recommend detours, and even preemptively adjust speed profiles. This is especially valuable for fleet operations, where consistency, safety, and fuel efficiency are paramount. 

Our contextual copilot transforms Apollo and Autoware from reactive navigators into strategic agents—vehicles that not only perceive and plan, but remember, compare, and adapt. It brings the semantic richness of drone vision analytics into the cockpit, enabling smarter decisions, smoother rides, and safer autonomy. As open-source platforms seek scalable enhancements, our architecture offers a plug-and-play intelligence layer: one that’s grounded in data, optimized for real-world complexity, and aligned with the future of agentic mobility.
