TL;DR — Drones can't phone home to a cloud GPU mid-flight, so open-weight vision models running on tiny onboard computers like the Jetson Nano are doing the real work: spotting missing persons, cracks in bridges, and rows of crops. A recent study got a YOLOv5 variant to 0.802 mAP@50 on search-and-r…
