Abstract

With the advancement in production of micro-UAV, they have become cheap and easy to operate. While the widespread use of micro-UAVs has provided many benefits to all sectors of society, it has also presented a significant danger to personal, public, and military security. Micro-UAVs are difficult for conventional air-defence systems to identify as they are small in size and have low flying altitude. The proposed research aims in identifying micro-UAVs by implementing deep learning technique. The method presented is a deep learning algorithm called Mask R-CNN, which is a notion for object identification and will be utilized in micro-UAV detection. Publicly available dataset named, Det-Fly, is used in this research. The model is evaluated using mean Average Precision (mAP) as well as validation loss, bounding box loss and classification loss are graphically plotted. A very good results are obtained from the implemented model with mAP value of 72.10%.
