Malicious UAV Detection Using Integrated Audio and Visual Features for Public Safety Applications

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become popular in surveillance, security, and remote monitoring. However, they also pose serious security threats to public privacy. The timely detection of a malicious drone is currently an open research issue for security provisioning companies. Recently, the p...
