S-FUEL: A Semantic and Latency-Aware Framework for Target-Oriented UAV Exploration Using Onboard Foundation Models

Efficient exploration and target identification in unstructured environments are critical challenges in UAV automation. While foundation models like Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) offer powerful open-vocabulary perception, their high computational cost and inference latency hinder real-time deployment on onboard hard...
