Small drones are a rising threat due to their possible misuse for illegal activities, in particular smuggling and terrorism. The project SafeShore, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program, has launched the “drone-vs-bird detection challenge” to address one of the many technical issues arising in this context. The goal is to detect a drone appearing at some point in a video where birds may be also present: the algorithm should raise an alarm and provide a position estimate only when a drone is present, while not issuing alarms on birds. This paper reports on the challenge proposal, evaluation, and results.

Buried wire detection using ground penetrating radars Yılmaz, Utku; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Buried explosives pose great threat for national security of the countries struggling with these explosives as the damage caused by them increase day by day. There are several sensors developed for detection of buried explosives such as land mines, unexploded ordnances and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Among these, IEDs are quite hard to detect with majority of sensors due to their irregular shape and contents. The difficulties in IED detection have led researchers to aim the triggering mechanisms of...
Traffic Management Challenges in Terrorist Attacks: Evacuations in Chemical/Hazardous Material Spills and Emergency Operations Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2008-05-06) Transportation systems are backbones of urban life serving thousands of people everyday, creating potential targets or environments for terrorist attacks which aim to put fear in people's minds and disrupt daily lives. Even if not targeted directly, better management of transportation systems are crucial after terrorist attacks, which may reach a disaster level, especially, if it includes CBRN elements. Evacuations are massive operations that require transportation of a large number of people outside a disa...
Real-time Adaptive Camera Tamper Detection for Video Surveillance SAĞLAM, Ali; Temizel, Alptekin (2009-09-04) Criminals often resort to camera tampering to prevent capture of their actions. Real-time automated detection of video camera tampering cases is important for timely warning of the operators. Tampering is generally done by obstructing the camera view by a foreign object, displacing the camera and changing the focus of the camera lens. In automated camera tamper detection systems, low false alarm rates are important as reliability of these systems is compromised by unnecessary alarms and consequently the ope...
HUMAN GAIT PARAMETER ESTIMATION BASED ON MICRO-DOPPLER SIGNATURES USING PARTICLE FILTERS Guldogan, M. B.; Gustafsson, F.; Orguner, Umut; Bjorklund, S.; Petersson, H.; Nezirovic, A. (2011-05-27) Monitoring and tracking human activities around restricted areas is an important issue in security and surveillance applications. The movement of different parts of the human body generates unique micro-Doppler features which can be extracted effectively using joint time-frequency analysis. In this paper, we describe the simultaneous tracking of both location and micro-Doppler features of a human using particle filters (PF). The results obtained using the data from a 77 GHz radar prove the successful usage ...
