Abstract The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) holds transformative potential for real-time traffic monitoring, a critical component of emerging smart city infrastructure. UAVs offer unique advantages over stationary traffic cameras, including greater flexibility in monitoring large and dynamic urban areas. However, detecting small, densely packed vehicles in UAV imagery remains a significant challenge due to occlusion, variations in lighting, and the complexity of urban landscapes. Conventional models often struggle with these issues, leading to inaccurate detections and reduced performance in practical applications. To address these challenges, this paper introduces CFEMNet,… More >
