• Abstract summary: This work is aimed at creating a solution based on a nano-drone that navigates across rows of parked vehicles and detects their license plates. All computations are done in real-time on the drone, which just sends position and detected images that allow the creation of a 2D map.

• Abstract: Millions of vehicles are transported every year, tightly parked in vessels or boats. To reduce the risks of associated safety issues like fires, knowing the location of vehicles is essential, since different vehicles may need different mitigation measures, e.g. electric cars. This work is aimed at creating a solution based on a nano-drone that navigates across rows of parked vehicles and detects their license plates. We do so via a wall-following algorithm, and a CNN trained to detect license plates. All computations are done in real-time on the drone, which just sends position and detected images that allow the creation of a 2D map with the position of the plates. Our solution is capable of reading all plates across eight test cases (with several rows of plates, different drone speeds, or low light) by aggregation of measurements across several drone journeys.

  The use of small and remotely controlled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased in recent years. Most studies on drone detection fail to specify the type of acquisition device, the drone type, the detection range, or the dataset. We contribute with an annotated multi-sensor database for drone detection that includes infrared and visible videos and audio files.

  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.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors, based on deep learning, have shown promising accuracy but are prone to over-fit to domain idiosyncrasies. We propose a novel learning approach that drastically reduces this gap by fine-tuning the detector on pseudo-labels in the target domain. We show, on five autonomous driving datasets, that fine-tuning the detector on these pseudo-labels substantially reduces the domain gap to new driving environments.

  We propose a novel and applicable method for degraded license plate detection via vehicle-plate relation mining. First, we estimate the local region around the license plate by using the relationships between the vehicle and the license plate. Second, we propose to predict the quadrilateral bounding box in the local region by regressing the four corners of the license plate to robustly detect oblique license plates.
