Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly increasing in popularity. Despite attempts at regulation, stopping small, Class 1 (typically hobby-grade) UAVs from entering protected or sensitive airspace is an unsolved problem. Many companies and researchers offer a piece of a solution, but as of this writing, there is no publicly available, feasible, end-to-end solution. Ultimately, what is needed i...Show More
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly popular in the last several years. This paper explores numerous methods to detect and track small UAVs using computer vision.Show More
The proliferation of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) has led to a security gap in the defense of strategic installations and at public events. One of the most proven and low-regret methods employed by Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUASs) is entanglement of the hostile UAS in a net carried by a hunter UAS. Typically these hunter UASs are controlled by a human pilot. We employ a ground based...Show More
Fires cause billions of dollars in damage and thousands of deaths each year. Firefighting robots are being deployed around the world to reduce the loss of human life and the amount of property damage. High-rise buildings are used for both business and family homes. Buildings with dozens of floors present a great challenge to firefighters. Firefighter ladders cannot reach high enough to fight fires...Show More
Stylometry is the quantified (often statistical) analysis of author style as a set of (usually morphosyntactic) features expressed in several documents by the author. The focus of this paper is a task to which stylometry is often applied: authorship attribution, the question of identifying or confirming the author of a text based on the known body of work. We analyze a feature set previously intro...Show More
Stylometry is the measurement of certain expressible features of writing style, and its uses include the characterization of authors for recognition in cases of text whose authorship is disputed or unknown. This work builds upon previous investigation into the success of a particular feature set on a particular corpus. We explore the creation and testing of a small corpus spanning multiple languag...Show More
