原文アブストラクト
Ground-to-Air (G2A) drone detection in medium- and long-wave infrared (MWIR/LWIR) imagery is challenging due to reduced texture information, sensor noise, weak thermal contrast, and the scarcity of annotated data. This work investigates a synthetic-first training strategy that combines synthetic scene generation with fine-tuning on real data. We show that synthetic data provides an effective basis for learning initial object representations, while real in-domain thermal imagery is still essential for reliable deployment. Even small amounts of real IR data substantially reduce domain gaps. Our experiments indicate that dataset alignment has a stronger impact on performance than model scale. Finally, our analysis of the dataset suggests that semantic alignment in feature space is the strongest predictor of model performance, while radiometric properties such as entropy and dynamic range also contribute to detection robustness. This work provides a foundation for combining synthetic and real IR data for effective G2A drone detection.
