Detecting Drones Using Camera Technology

To counter a drone threat, you first need to detect it.

Much, if not all, of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts referencing drones has been focused on detecting the menace in the sky and then taking countermeasures to eliminate the threat. The first step in countering drones is detecting the threat.

See this DHS article on the concept of using cameras to provide that function, S&T Creates Better Drone Detection Through Machine Learning, Cameras.
