The increasing deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) across various sectors has raised significant security concerns, as drones can be exploited for unauthorized surveillance, smuggling, and other illicit activities. Addressing these risks necessitates robust and efficient detection and tracking systems that can operate in real-time. While deep learning-based optical detection methods have shown promising results, many existing approaches struggle with low inference speeds, hindering their real-time applicability. In this research, we propose an efficient network for drone detection and tracking that achieves high inference speed. We leverage a lightweight detection model as the base and enhance its performance by incorporating multiple optimization modules. Furthermore, we integrate the DeepSORT algorithm for real-time tracking. Our approach achieves a detection precision of 91.6% and a tracking speed exceeding 40 frames per second, demonstrating its effectiveness for real-time drone surveillance applications.
