Real-Time Drone Detection in Event Cameras via Per-Pixel Frequency Analysis

ArXi:2603.08386v1 Announce Type: new Detecting fast-moving objects, such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), from event camera data is challenging due to the sparse, asynchronous nature of the input. Traditional Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFT) are effective at identifying periodic signals, such as spinning rotors, but they assume uniformly sampled data, which event cameras do not provide. We propose a novel per-pixel temporal analysis framework using the Non-uniform Discrete Fourier Transform (NDFT), which we call Drone Detection via Harmonic Fingerprinting.
