μDopplerTag: CNN-Based Drone Recognition via Cooperative Micro-Doppler Tagging

  • 给无人机叶片贴共振电磁标签,产生独特雷达回波
  • 在7分贝信噪比下仍能准确分类,可支持数公里远程探测
  • 适合机场等关键区域的无人机安防与空域管理

无人机快速普及给空域管理、安全与监控带来挑战。现有摄像头、激光雷达和传统雷达系统在复杂环境和远距离下难以可靠区分相似型号的无人机,低雷达散射截面和杂波进一步增加识别难度。为此,我们提出一种基于人工微多普勒特征的新型无人机分类方法:通过在无人机桨叶上附加谐振电磁贴纸,生成特定配置的雷达回波,实现稳健识别。我们开发了一种定制卷积神经网络(CNN),可处理原始雷达信号,取得高分类精度。实验在消声室中进行,涵盖43种标签配置,并在真实飞行轨迹和噪声条件下开展户外测试。主成分分析(PCA)与统一流形近似投影(UMAP)揭示了编码的可分性与鲁棒性。结果表明,在信噪比低至7 dB时仍可实现可靠分类,证明长距离探测可行性;初步测距显示潜在工作距离可达数公里,适用于机场空域监控等关键场景。电磁标记与机器学习结合,为未来空中交通管理与安全保障提供可扩展、高效解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The rapid deployment of drones poses significant challenges for airspace management, security, and surveillance. Current detection and classification technologies, including cameras, LiDAR, and conventional radar systems, often struggle to reliably identify and differentiate drones, especially those of similar models, under diverse environmental conditions and at extended ranges. Moreover, low radar cross sections and clutter further complicate accurate drone identification. To address these limitations, we propose a novel drone classification method based on artificial micro-Doppler signatures encoded by resonant electromagnetic stickers attached to drone blades. These tags generate distinctive, configuration-specific radar returns, enabling robust identification. We develop a tailored convolutional neural network (CNN) capable of processing raw radar signals, achieving high classification accuracy. Extensive experiments were conducted both in anechoic chambers with 43 tag configurations and outdoors under realistic flight trajectories and noise conditions. Dimensionality reduction techniques, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP), provided insight into code separability and robustness. Our results demonstrate reliable drone classification performance at signal-to-noise ratios as low as 7 dB, indicating the feasibility of long-range detection with advanced surveillance radar systems. Preliminary range estimations indicate potential operational distances of several kilometers, suitable for critical applications such as airport airspace monitoring. The integration of electromagnetic tagging with machine learning enables scalable and efficient drone identification, paving the way for enhanced aerial traffic management and security in increasingly congested airspaces.
