DPNet: Efficient Dead-End Prediction and Avoidance for Vision-Based UAV Navigation
Vision-based Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) often suffer from navigation failures in dead ends due to limited sensing accuracy and range. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a systematic solution for efficient dead-end prediction and avoidance. The proposed method introduces a lightweight neural network to predict the relative distance and bearing of potential dead ends within the current field of view using RGB-D inputs. These predictions prune a predefined, compact trajectory library, enabling the planner to proactively avoid dead ends while maintaining navigational smoothness. Notably, our approach transfers across real-world scenarios without manual annotation or fine-tuning on real-world data. The system achieves high-frequency replanning at 50 Hz onboard. Extensive simulation benchmarks demonstrate superior performance in success rate, flight time, and trajectory length, and real-world experiments further validate its effectiveness in complex scenarios.
