Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly increasing in popularity. Despite attempts at regulation, stopping small, Class 1 (typically hobby-grade) UAVs from entering protected or sensitive airspace is an unsolved problem. Many companies and researchers offer a piece of a solution, but as of this writing, there is no publicly available, feasible, end-to-end solution. Ultimately, what is needed is...
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly popular in the last several years. This paper explores numerous methods to detect and track small UAVs using computer vision.
The proliferation of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) has led to a security gap in the defense of strategic installations and at public events. One of the most proven and low-regret methods employed by Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUASs) is entanglement of the hostile UAS in a net carried by a hunter UAS. Typically these hunter UASs are controlled by a human pilot. We employ a ground based...
Making GPS more accurate and/or reliable by combining it with other sensors and applying sophisticated data processing techniques has been attempted many times. Our approach to enhancing the performance of GPS is much simpler than most. We combine multiple (up to eight) consumer-grade GPS receivers into a system that averages their data in real time, requiring no other sensors, augmentation technologies,...
GPS is a technology that allows for accurate tracking of various parameters, namely speed and location. These parameters are important to many applications, such as autonomous vehicles. In order to make a successful autonomous vehicle, it is necessary to be able to quantify its performance. Tracking a vehicle with GPS is an effective, well-established way to accomplish that. However, the consumer-level...
In our previous work, we presented autonomous, self-organizing wireless networks using multiple mobile robots, which enabled the desired wireless coverage in the form of a mesh network and a point-to-point network. Capacities to cover the desired area using multiple robots, all carrying omnidirectional antennas, were demonstrated. However, the use of omnidirectional antennas did not prove effective...
