Towards Robust Lidar-based 3D Detection and Tracking of UAVs is a research paper by Tasnim Azad Abir, Endrowednes Kuantama, Richard Han, Judith Dawes, Rich Mildren, and Phuc Nguyen.
This paper explores the robustness of lidar-based 3D detection and tracking of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The authors investigate the effective detection ranges of different UAVs based on their construction materials and assess the 3D detection performance of a specific UAV across various atmospheric visibility conditions. Additionally, the paper investigates the capability of lidar-based systems to track drone trajectories through real-world experiments and point cloud data processing.
Using a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) lidar-based system (Livox Mid-40), the authors validate the ability to precisely track UAVs at distances of up to 80 meters under diverse environmental conditions, including morning, afternoon, and night scenarios.
