Due to the inability to receive signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in extreme conditions, achieving accurate and robust navigation for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a challenging task. Recently emerged, vision-based navigation has been a promising and feasible alternative to GNSS-based navigation. However, existing vision-based techniques are inadequate in addressing flight deviation caused by environmental disturbances and inaccurate position predictions in practical settings. In this paper, we present a novel angle robustness navigation paradigm to deal with flight deviation in point-to-point navigation tasks. Additionally, we propose a model that includes the Adaptive Feature Enhance Module, Cross-knowledge Attention-guided Module and Robust Task-oriented Head Module to accurately predict direction angles for high-precision navigation. To evaluate the vision-based navigation methods, we collect a new dataset termed as UAV_AR368. Furthermore, we design the Simulation Flight Testing Instrument (SFTI) using Google Earth to simulate different flight environments, thereby reducing the expenses associated with real flight testing. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art by achieving improvements of 26.0% and 45.6% in the success rate of arrival under ideal and disturbed circumstances, respectively.

Emergency vehicles in service have right-of-way over all other vehicles. Hence, all other vehicles are supposed to take proper actions to yield emergency vehicles with active sirens. As this task requires the cooperation between ears and eyes for human drivers, it also needs audio detection as a supplement to vision-based algorithms for fully autonomous driving vehicles. In urban driving scenarios, we need to know both the existence of emergency vehicles and their relative positions to us to decide the proper actions. We present a novel system from collecting the real-world siren data to the deployment of models using only two cost-efficient microphones. We are able to achieve promising performance for each task separately, especially within the crucial 10m to 50m distance range to react (the size of our ego vehicle is around 5m in length and 2m in width). The recall rate to determine the existence of sirens is 99.16% , the median and mean angle absolute error is 9.64{\deg} and 19.18{\deg} respectively, and the median and mean distance absolute error of 9.30m and 10.58m respectively within that range. We also benchmark various machine learning approaches that can determine the siren existence and sound source localization which includes direction and distance simultaneously within 50ms of latency.
