Literature Review on Drones Used in the Surveillance Field

Profile image of Emanuele Adorni

The current study reviews the available literature about UAVs employed in the surveillance field for indoor and outdoor spaces. At first, we differentiated between HTA and LTA. After a first analysis, we compared the two categories, and we proposed active solutions. In our opinion, it would be possible to put them into practice by implementing a system which would operate both copter drones and blimps. These, in fact, present advantages and disadvantages which overcome one another, giving the possibility of such dual systems. This study is developed inside a broader analysis on how to provide the right level of security of an automated port that would rely on an autonomous security system.

Drones started to be very popular and visible in the last two decades. Those more and more sophisticated, cheaper in production and exploitation technologically advances air and land based platforms are entering new domains of people's life very progressively. At the present it is not so easy to fully predict to what purposes drones could be used in the future. We are usually consider them as unmanned platforms to be used by armed forces or national security related services to enhance their capabilities to create safe and secure environment. Nowadays we see new solutions and applications everyday. It is assessed that drones utilization is an opportunity to be exploited for both civilian purposes and their growing presence in airspace is unstoppable process. The variety of application will grow extremely quickly as of new technological discoveries and innovative approach of designers. The growing density in the air is causing the urgent need to enhance legal coverage to avoid incidents as those are a danger now and that aspect will be more serious in the future. The paper is composed of two major parts. The first is focusing on current and future applications of drones and the second one is discussing dangers toward using unmanned aerial vehicles requiring legal solutions national and globally. The purpose of the paper to present drones applications as an advantage but also a risk for national and private security along with requirements for formalizing their utilization within legal frameworks..

Recent advancements in drone technology are opening new opportunities and applications in various fields of life especially in the form of small drones. However, these advancements are also causing new challenges in terms of security, adaptability, and consistency. This research discusses the drone technology, area of usages, citizen multi-objective uses, drones security, protection, and secrecy apprehensions, drone current intimidations and susceptibilities, existing approaches for drone cyber-security methods, security threats to drones and data sources for current literature review. Small drones are proving to be a new opportunity for the civil and military industries. The small drones are suffering from architectural issues and the definition of security and safety issues. The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens new dimensions for drone technology but posing new threats as well. The tiny flying intelligent devices are challenging for the security and privacy of da...

An unmanned aerial vehicle is a flying apparatus that does not require a crewmember on board to complete a task. Its piloting is done by means of indirect control. UAVs also have the ability to perform autonomous flight on a pre-programmed flight path. The purpose of the study was to use the unmanned aircraft “Fly Eye” by WB Electronic used by the Border Guard to patrol the state border in 103 TRA zone on the section of the Republic of Poland with the Kaliningrad District of the Russian Federation. The TRA zones constitute a specially designated area for the use of the Border Guard and the army, in order to carry out flights there beyond the scope of the pattern for training purposes and to patrol the state border. The article also contains information of the Border Guard formation and the characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle “FlyEye”. In order to ensure the safety of the UAV flight, the test was carried out in the TRA zone, which is used for special use for the Border Gua...

The problems related to the integration of the unmanned aerial vehicles into national airspaces is one of the main topics that the scientific researchers are dealing with these days. Despite that, none of them are investigating the UAVs from the surveillance point of view. For that reason, highlighting the problems that have to be dealt with and assessing them through a holistic approach is the aim of the paper. Therefore, the paper takes the different stakeholders view and identify the key factors that have to be taken into account. The authors propose the surveillance technologies that can be considered and evaluated them along the revealed factors through a global view. The results can be applied as a base for the further research in UAVs surveillance domain.

This work presents the design and construction of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to be used as an autonomous guided security system for civilian applications in areas such as surveillance and gathering. The UAV was designed to be powered by a DC battery and to carry a maximum payload of 1.9kg. It is equipped with a microcontroller, actuators and sensors which enable it acquire information from its environment, respond to sensory inputs and move accordingly desired destination. The hexacopter when tested after its construction met some of its design specifications such as weight, communication, correct calibration of motors, imaging. All the objectives for stable flight wer achieved due to the difficulty in implementing a controller to balance the system. More work in this area to improve on the PID controller in other to achieve stable flight.

The objective of this work is to support the continuous development and modernization of the Gendarmerie Forces, analyzing the use of Drones in the police activities of the Portuguese and Spanish Gendarmerie forces, examining the extent to which the implementation and expansion of these resources represent an advantage for the police service and operations of the Gendarmerie. Due to the great changes taking place in the world, it is crucial to rethink state security. The convergence of internal and external threats, together with the increase in the feeling of insecurity on a global scale, are emerging factors that require different strategies of the security forces, especially with regard to the support tools used. Thus, there was a need to analyze the legal panorama of the Drones used in police, military and customs missions, verifying their classification as state aircraft, verifying the current doctrine (civil, military and police), taking into account the analysis of these scenarios. To this end, a methodology based on the inductive method was adopted, which made it possible to generalize the data collected through the analysis of data on the Spanish Gendarmerie force, appreciating their characteristics and use, with the aim of comparing the modus operandi with the Portuguese Gendarmerie force.

Title: a preprocessing and evaluation toolbox for trajectory prediction research on the drone datasets.

Abstract: The availability of high-quality datasets is crucial for the development of behavior prediction algorithms in autonomous vehicles. This paper highlights the need for standardizing the use of certain datasets for motion forecasting research to simplify comparative analysis and proposes a set of tools and practices to achieve this. Drawing on extensive experience and a comprehensive review of current literature, we summarize our proposals for preprocessing, visualizing, and evaluation in the form of an open-sourced toolbox designed for researchers working on trajectory prediction problems. The clear specification of necessary preprocessing steps and evaluation metrics is intended to alleviate development efforts and facilitate the comparison of results across different studies. The toolbox is available at: this https URL .
