📝 Abstract
We study short- and mid-horizon UAV bounding-box forecasting on the FRED event-camera dataset. We use a constant-velocity Kalman filter over a full center-size box state as a strong physical baseline, and train a residual model to predict acceleration-like corrections from recent box history, filtered state features, and local event representations. This simple residual formulation consistently improves over the Kalman baseline, with event-conditioned models giving the strongest results among the evaluated methods. We further show that part of the residual target is predictable from anchor position and velocity alone, indicating that canonical FRED results can reflect both visual evidence and dataset-specific motion priors. To analyze this effect, we introduce decorrelated subsets as a diagnostic stress test, showing that event-conditioned residual models retain useful predictive signal even when measured position- and velocity-based shortcuts are weakened.
