Abstract
This paper proposes a framework for obstacle-avoiding autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems with a new obstacle avoidance method (OAM) and localization method for autonomous UAVs for structural health monitoring (SHM) in GPS-denied areas. There are high possibilities of obstacles in the planned trajectory of autonomous UAVs used for monitoring purposes. A traditional UAV localization method with an ultrasonic beacon is limited to the scope of the monitoring and vulnerable to both depleted battery and environmental electromagnetic fields. To overcome these critical problems, a deep learning-based OAM with the integration of You Only Look Once version 3 (YOLOv3) and a fiducial marker-based UAV localization method are proposed. These new obstacle avoidance and localization methods are integrated with a real-time damage segmentation method as an autonomous UAV system for SHM. In indoor testing and outdoor tests in a large parking structure, the proposed methods showed superior performances in obstacle avoidance and UAV localization compared to traditional approaches.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
