• Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become widely used in various fields and industrial applications thanks to their low operational cost, compact size and wide accessibility. However, the noise generated by drone propellers has emerged as a significant concern. This may affect the public willingness to implement these vehicles in services that require operation in proximity to residential areas. The standard approaches to address this challenge include sound pressure measurements and noise characteristic analyses. The integration of Artificial Intelligence models in recent years has further streamlined the process by enhancing complex feature detection in drone acoustics data. This study builds upon prior research by examining the efficacy of various Deep Learning models in predicting Psychoacoustic Annoyance, an effective index for measuring perceived annoyance by human ears, based on multiple drone characteristics as input. This is accomplished by constructing a training dataset using precise measurements of various drone models with multiple microphones and analyzing flight data, maneuvers, drone physical characteristics, and perceived annoyance under realistic conditions. The aim of this research is to improve our understanding of drone noise, aid in the development of noise reduction techniques, and encourage the acceptance of drone usage on public spaces.

  Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are frequently deployed for search-and-rescue missions during disaster situations. In some cases, larger drones are used to deliver essential supplies to people stranded in isolated disaster-stricken areas. The auditory system must distinguish between human cries and sounds that occur naturally, such as animal calls and wind. To tackle this challenge, one solution involves harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze sound frequencies and identify common audio signatures.

  Drone-to-drone detection using visual feed has crucial applications, such as detecting drone collisions, detecting drone attacks, or coordinating flight with other drones. Existing methods are computationally costly, follow non-end-to-end optimization, and have complex multi-stage pipelines, making them less suitable for real-time deployment on edge devices. We propose a simple yet effective framework, itTransVisDrone, that provides an end-to-end solution with higher computational efficiency.

  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.
