摘要:
视觉-语言导航(VLN)旨在通过利用语言指令和视觉线索来引导智能体,其在具身人工智能中扮演着关键角色。室内VLN已得到广泛研究,而户外空中VLN仍处于探索阶段。潜在的原因是户外空中视角涵盖广阔的区域,使数据收集更加困难,导致缺乏基准测试。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了OpenFly平台,包括多种渲染引擎、多功能工具链和大规模的空中VLN基准测试。首先,我们整合了多种渲染引擎和先进的环境模拟技术,包括Unreal Engine、GTA V、Google Earth和3D高斯点散射(3D GS)。特别是,3D GS支持实拍到模拟的渲染,进一步增强了我们环境的真实感。其次,我们开发了一个高度自动化的工具链,用于空中VLN数据的收集,简化了点云采集、场景语义分割、飞行轨迹创建和指令生成。第三,基于该工具链,我们构建了一个大规模的空中VLN数据集,包含10万条轨迹,覆盖了18个场景中的不同高度和长度。此外,我们提出了OpenFly-Agent,一个关键帧感知的VLN模型,强调飞行过程中的关键观察。为了基准测试,进行了广泛的实验和分析,评估了几种最近的VLN方法,并展示了我们OpenFly平台和代理的优越性。工具链、数据集和代码将开源。
英文摘要:
Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) aims to guide agents by leveraging language instructions and visual cues, playing a pivotal role in embodied AI. Indoor VLN has been extensively studied, whereas outdoor aerial VLN remains underexplored. The potential reason is that outdoor aerial view encompasses vast areas, making data collection more challenging, which results in a lack of benchmarks. To address this problem, we propose OpenFly, a platform comprising various rendering engines, a versatile toolchain, and a large-scale benchmark for aerial VLN. Firstly, we integrate diverse rendering engines and advanced techniques for environment simulation, including Unreal Engine, GTA V, Google Earth, and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D GS). Particularly, 3D GS supports real-to-sim rendering, further enhancing the realism of our environments. Secondly, we develop a highly automated toolchain for aerial VLN data collection, streamlining point cloud acquisition, scene semantic segmentation, flight trajectory creation, and instruction generation. Thirdly, based on the toolchain, we construct a large-scale aerial VLN dataset with 100k trajectories, covering diverse heights and lengths across 18 scenes. Moreover, we propose OpenFly-Agent, a keyframe-aware VLN model emphasizing key observations during flight. For benchmarking, extensive experiments and analyses are conducted, evaluating several recent VLN methods and showcasing the superiority of our OpenFly platform and agent. The toolchain, dataset, and codes will be open-sourced.
