Consumer drone evolutions: trends,spaces, temporalities,threats

ABSTRACT

While the drone has become synonymous with the War on Terror, the asymmetric iconography of the battlefield is shifting. Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) drones are increasingly prevalent features of global battlefields, employed by non-state actors in both visualising such spaces, and the directing and inflicting of harm. As such usage increases, so too do concerns around their evolving adoption, adaptation, and potential portability into homeland spheres. While cognizant of the range of positive drone applications, it is asserted that drones nonetheless remain simultaneously bound to an inverse potential for exploitation. In examining drone risk, this article approaches the consumer drone through a series of sites and spaces through which it is technically and socially constructed. Reflecting upon industry innovation, community-driven experimentation, and evolving airspace – it calls for greater attention to the drone’s malleability, arguing that understandings of COTS drones must remain attentive to both drone potential and potential drone threat.     

基于部件模型的无人机系统小样本车辆目标识别方法

对地目标检测与识别是无人机系统典型任务之一,但受限于任务特殊性,往往难以获取足够的目标样本数据以实现高可靠的目标识别.为此,结合人的认知特性,提出一种基于部件模型的小样本车辆目标识别方法,可有效提高无人机感知能力.采用视觉显著性检测与物体性检测相结合的检测方法,提取目标可能区域;采用基于图论的GrabCut方法与最大类...
