SpatialUAV - Direction Recognition: leaderboard
Direction recognition in real low-altitude UAV images from SpatialUAV (Zhang et al., 2026): with the drone facing 12 o'clock, the model gives the clock direction of a marked region relative to the drone. Exact-match accuracy in percent over 455 questions; higher is better.
Metric: Direction Recognition Accuracy (%; exact clock direction of a region relative to the drone). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2030. 18 models tracked.
