Claims
paths generated using LMPath outperform traditional path planning approaches for search missions
That generative language models and foundation vision models can reliably identify regions likely to contain the prompted object from satellite imagery alone, without domain-specific fine-tuning or validation against ground truth.
LMPath generates language-mediated priors from object prompts and satellite segmentation to produce UAV search paths that outperform traditional geometric coverage in simulations and real flights.
