(The) research on object tracking in persistent UAV security presence system

Abstract

Unmanned aircraft are used for various missions because of their maneuverability and unmanned nature. If the scope of the mission becomes wider, one unmanned airplane becomes difficult to carry out its mission, and therefore, a plurality of unmanned airplanes form one system. In this paper, we will develop a multi-UAV service system called PUSP(Persistent UAV Security Presence), develop the UAV’s object tracking feature, and verify its usefulness. We investigated the technology that can be used for recognition of unmanned aerial vehicles and applied the object recognition function to PUSP by considering the environment of the PUSP system and optimizing it. We tested this system in various environments, assuming that the guard service system is running on our campus. Unmanned aerial vehicles capable of tracking objects were constructed and optimized by a single large system, which handled a single task of security service simultaneously, and they were made available on an open source basis.
