In this paper, we suggest a method for detecting unmanned aerial vehicles using a parallel architecture consisting of three diverse convolutional neural networks, each with different properties. The system utilizes re-inference to increase detection capability. The results confirm the method works and show major improvements in total accuracy as well as lower mispredictions.
