• Abstract: Now a days, UAVs such as drones are greatly used for various purposes like that of capturing and target detection from ariel imagery etc. Easy access of these small ariel vehicles to public can cause serious security threats. For instance, critical places may be monitored by spies blended in public using drones. Study in hand proposes an improved and efficient Deep Learning based autonomous system which can detect and track very small drones with great precision. The proposed system consists of a custom deep learning model Tiny YOLOv3, one of the flavors of very fast object detection model You Look Only Once (YOLO) is built and used for detection. The object detection algorithm will efficiently the detect the drones. The proposed architecture has shown significantly better performance as compared to the previous YOLO version. The improvement is observed in the terms of resource usage and time complexity. The performance is measured using the metrics of recall and precision that are 93% and 91% respectively.

  We introduce a self-reconstruction mechanism in the detection model, and discover the strong correlation between it and the tiny objects. Specifically, we impose a reconstruction head in-between the neck of a detector, constructing a difference map of the reconstructed image and the input, which shows high sensitivity to tiny objects. We further develop a Difference Map Guided Feature Enhancement (DGFE) module to make the tiny feature representation more clear.

  We propose a novel task, called generalized few-shot 3D object detection, where we have a large amount of training data for common (base) objects, but only a few data for rare (novel) classes. Specifically, we analyze in-depth differences between images and point clouds, and then present a practical principle for the few-shot setting in the 3D LiDAR dataset. To solve this task, we propose an incremental fine-tuning method to extend existing 3D detection models to recognize both common and rare objects.

• Dogfight: Detecting Drones from Drones Videos [58.158988162743825]
  This paper attempts to address the problem of drones detection from other flying drones variations. The erratic movement of the source and target drones, small size, arbitrary shape, large intensity, and occlusion make this problem quite challenging. To handle this, instead of using region-proposal based methods, we propose to use a two-stage segmentation-based approach.
