Abstract:

Drones are the new disruption technology at present owing to their use in many areas like transport, agriculture, security, surveillance, surveying & mapping, etc., to handle various critical tasks with less complexity and cost-effectively. In this research, drone usage in air surveillance, especially as a counter drone technique, is considered which is a significant threat today at borders. Transfer learning-based multiclass drone detection and classification were implemented using pretrained ResNet-50, VGG16, Inception and Xception nets. Drone detection and classification performance for drone, bird, helicopter, and aeroplane classes are validated using accuracy, precision, F-score and recall metrics. Xception net is performing well over other nets with an accuracy of 0.98

Keywords:

UAV, Transfer learning, VGG16, ResNet50, Inception net, Xception net, Drone detection, Drone classification.
