Title
Emerging Sensing Technologies for Drone Detection

Abstract
In recent years, the commercial drone market, especially multi-rotor drones, has been witnessed an explosive growth. Drones nowadays have been broadly used in various industrial, military, and civilian applications. The consequent abuse of drones has posed great threats to personal privacy and public security. There is an urgent need for accurate and effective real-time drone monitoring. Regarding that drones are usually of small size, low flying speeds at low altitude, in this talk we focus on key theories and technologies we have been investigating for detecting, and tracking flying drones using multi-sensing techniques. We will introduce the drone monitoring experimental platform and the multi-source signal database for drones we have built up. In particular, in our research, features of drones from audio, radio and video signals collected by various sensors are extracted and analyzed. Cross-media data fusion are conducted to take full advantage of different sensors' strongpoints.
