M$^2$E-UAV: A Benchmark and Analysis for Onboard Motion-on-Motion Event-Based Tiny UAV Detection

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.10496v1 Announce Type: new Tiny UAV detection from an onboard event camera is difficult when the observer and target move at the same time. In this motion-on-motion regime, ego-motion activates background edges across buildings, vegetation, and horizon structures, while the UAV may appear as a sparse event cluster. To explore this practical problem, we present M$^2$E-UAV, a benchmark and analysis setup for onboard motion-on-motion event-based tiny UAV detection. The processed M$^2$E-UAV benchmark contains 87,223.
