Evaluation of UAV detection performance on the UAV-CB Thermal dataset, reporting standard object detection metrics like AP50 and AP.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | UAV Detection |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | UAV-CB Thermal |
| Metric | AP50 |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 9 of 9 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [AP50](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/uav-detection-on-uav-cb-thermal.md?metric=AP50>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AP75](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/uav-detection-on-uav-cb-thermal.md?metric=AP75>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AP (0.5:0.95)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/uav-detection-on-uav-cb-thermal.md?metric=AP%20(0.5%3A0.95)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
