Drone detection is the problem of finding the smallest rectangle that encloses the drone(s) in a video sequence. In this study, we propose a solution using an end-to-end object detection model based on convolutional neural networks. To solve the scarce data problem for training the network, we propose an algorithm for creating an extensive artificial dataset by combining background-subtracted real images. With this approach, we can achieve precision and recall values both of which are high at the same time.

A Computationally Efficient Appearance-Based Algorithm for Geospatial Object Detection
Arslan, Duygu; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2012-04-27)
A computationally efficient appearance-based algorithm for geospatial object detection is presented and evaluated specifically for aircraft detection from satellite imagery. An aircraft operator exploiting the edge information via gray level differences between the aircraft and its background is constructed with Haar-like polygon regions by using the shape information of the aircraft as an invariant. Fast evaluation of the aircraft operator is achieved by means of integral image. Rotated integral images are...
Investigation of the Effects of Buried Object Orientation in Subsurface Target Detection by GPR
Doğan, Mesut; Sayan, Gönül (2017-10-27)
Use of ultra-widehand ground penetrating radars (GPRs) have been the most effective approach in subsurface target detection. Proper preprocessing, prescreening, feature extraction, classification and fusion techniques are all needed to satisfy the requirements of high detection probability and low false alarm rates, simultaneously. Dominating ground reflection signals and soil clutter effects including the randomly varying non-planar ground surfaces, inhomogeneous soil nature, pebbles or rocks within the so...
Efficient Airport Detection Using Line Segment Detector and Fisher Vector Representation
Budak, Umit; Halıcı, Uğur; Sengur, Abdulkadir; Karabatak, Murat; Xiao, Yang (2016-08-01)
In this letter, a two-stage method for airport detection on remote sensing images is proposed. In the first stage, a new algorithm composed of several line-based processing steps is used for extraction of candidate airport regions. In the second stage, the scale-invariant feature transformation and Fisher vector coding are used for efficient representation of the airport and nonairport regions and support vector machines employed for classification. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed metho...
Model and procedures for the jammer and target allocation problem
Gül, Kıvanç; Kırca, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, the problem of finding the jamming angles to neutralize the maximum number of drones using least number of directed RF jammers when swarm drones attack to an area protected by an Anti-Drone defense system composed of radar, an electro-optic director and a directed RF jammer was studied. First of all, in this study, prioritization of detected drone threats was realized using threat evaluation algorithms. Then, an optimization model was developed utilizing mathematical models that are used to ...
Vision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Gökçe, Fatih; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2015-9)
Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detection and distance estimation of mUAVs, since other sensing modalities entail certain limitations on the environment...
