UAV detection via acoustic imaging using dense beamformed energy maps and U-Net SELD, a novel approach to 360° acoustic source localization. This method formulates the task as a spherical semantic segmentation problem, differing from traditional discrete direction-of-arrival angle regression. The proliferation of such techniques signals an industry shift towards more sophisticated, real-time monitoring and detection systems, potentially making obsolete traditional surveillance methods.
