Drone Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks

2020

In image processing, it is essential to detect and track air targets, especially UAVs. In this paper, we detect the flying drone using a fisheye camera. In the field of diagnosis and classification of objects, there are always many problems that prevent the development of rapid and significant progress in this area. During the previous decades, a couple of advanced classification methods such as convolutional neural networks and support vector machines have been developed. In this study, the drone was detected using three methods of classification of convolutional neural network (CNN), support vector machine (SVM), and nearest neighbor. The outcomes show that CNN, SVM, and nearest neighbor have total accuracy of 93%, 88%, and 80%, respectively. Compared with other classifiers with the same experimental conditions, the accuracy of the convolutional neural network classifier is satisfactory.

A DEEP LEARNING APPROACH TO CLASSIFY DRONES AND BIRDS

IRJET, 2023

Drones are gaining popularity not just for recreational use, but also for various engineering, disaster management, logistics, and airport security applications. However, their potential use in malicious activities has raised concerns about physical infrastructure security, safety, and surveillance at airports. There have been several reports in recent years of unauthorized drone use causing disruptions in airline operations. To address this problem, a new deep learning-based method has been proposed in this study. This approach is efficient in detecting and recognizing two types of drones and birds, and it outperforms existing detection systems in the literature. The physical and behavioral similarities between drones and birds often lead to confusion, but the proposed method can not only detect the presence or absence of drones but also distinguish between different types of drones and differentiate them from birds.

Fast Object Detection for Quadcopter Drone Using Deep Learning

2018 3rd International Conference on Computer and Communication Systems (ICCCS)

The paper presents our research progress in the development of object detection using deep learning based on drone camera. The grand purpose of our research is to deliver important medical aids for patients in emergency situations. The case can be simplified into delivery of an item from start to the goal position. We will exploit the drone technology for transporting items efficiently. In sending process, our drone must detect the object target, where the items will be delivered. Therefore, we need object detection module that can detect what is in video stream and where the object is by using GPS as well. To implement the module, we use combination of MobileNet and the Single Shot Detector (SSD) framework for fast and efficient deep learning-based method to object detection. The ability of deep learning to detect and localize specific objects is studied by conducting experiments using drone camera and, as comparison, using stereo camera Minoru.

Drone vs. Bird Detection: Deep Learning Algorithms and Results from a Grand Challenge

Sensors

Adopting effective techniques to automatically detect and identify small drones is a very compelling need for a number of different stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. This work presents three different original approaches that competed in a grand challenge on the “Drone vs. Bird” detection problem. The goal is to detect one or more drones appearing at some time point in video sequences where birds and other distractor objects may be also present, together with motion in background or foreground. Algorithms should raise an alarm and provide a position estimate only when a drone is present, while not issuing alarms on birds, nor being confused by the rest of the scene. In particular, three original approaches based on different deep learning strategies are proposed and compared on a real-world dataset provided by a consortium of universities and research centers, under the 2020 edition of the Drone vs. Bird Detection Challenge. Results show that there is a range in d...
