Abstract

Drones have found application in many fields ranging from agriculture to defense. With their on-board sensors, they provide useful insights in all the domains. It becomes important to study the abnormal behaviors observed due to the various sensors which hamper the drones’ smooth functioning. From temporally coherent streams of footage obtained, we aim to analyze the image frames, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The pixel level intensity variation was studied to find the patterns in them. Based on the intensity fluctuation distribution, the frames were classified into normal or anomalous. The images were evaluated using machine learning techniques. The best result was yielded by naïve Bayes classification with an accuracy of 92.079%. From the images, semantic inference was established through deep learning architectures through the application of a convolutional neural network. The best result was obtained when using a one-block VGG, yielding a validation accuracy of 92.17% and a test accuracy of 90.435%.
