Abstract

The article introduces RF-YOLO, a modified YOLO model designed for UAV detection and classification using RF spectrogram images. This model addresses the challenges of traditional detection methods such as radar, optical, and acoustic systems by leveraging RF signals. RF-YOLO is optimized with a wider backbone and a SinLU activation function to capture fine-grained patterns in high-resolution spectrogram images, achieving superior accuracy and robustness. The model excels in non-line-of-sight and noisy environments, making it a practical solution for critical applications like air traffic management and counter-drone operations. The article highlights the performance of RF-YOLO through extensive experiments and comparisons with other state-of-the-art models, demonstrating its potential to enhance air safety and security.
