From Pixels to Semantics: Edge AI for UAV-Based Critical Infrastructure Inspection

Critical infrastructure assets such as bridges, tunnels, dams, and power line networks require timely and scalable inspection. While conventional manual inspection remains costly and hazardous, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based inspection has emerged as an efficient alternative for monitoring difficult-to-access stru...

Cloud, Edge, or Split? Profiling Onboard and Split Vision-Language Model Deployment for Drone AI

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable edge devices like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to interpret visual observations and reason about complex environments using natural-language instructions. However, their practical deployment remains challenging as onboard inference is constrained by limited computational, memory,...

Perceptual Refinement of an End-to-End Video Streaming Pipeline via Generative AI Layers

Traditional codecs treat every region of a frame alike; a generative layer can instead degrade the regions a viewer attends to least and reconstruct them at the client. We present PRESLEY, which extends the prior conference work ELVIS by replacing destructive block removal with adaptive in-place degradation under a rem...

DRLM: Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based LLM Query Orchestration in Edge Environments

Large language model (LLM) services increasingly process heterogeneous queries with diverse latency, accuracy, and resource requirements. While edge deployment reduces response time, the heterogeneity of devices and the diversity of model families, parameter scales, and quantization levels make efficient LLM query orch...

EVLM: Intent-Driven Edge Vision Language Model for UAV-Based Power Line Inspection

Inspection of critical infrastructure, such as power lines, is increasingly conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that capture aerial video for subsequent human review. Although recent edge-based approaches deploy onboard object detectors to identify predefined defect classes, these pipelines remain closed-se...
