Language-guided semantic cues from MLLM visual pipelines, steered by text embeddings, refine object semantics and boost grounding accuracy against occlusion and small objects.
UAV-Track VLA modifies the π0.5 VLA architecture with temporal compression and dual-branch decoding to reach 61.76% success and 269.65 average frames in long-distance pedestrian tracking on a new 890K-frame UAV dataset, while cutting inference latency by 33.4%.
OpenRef benchmarks open-world REC with multi/none-target and hard scenes, and MCC is a training-free consistency plug-in that improves existing models.
This survey organizes aerial vision-language navigation methods into five architectural categories, critically reviews evaluation infrastructure, and synthesizes seven open problems for LLM/VLM integration.
