Training with synthetic data for drone detection in thermal imagery
Ground-to-Air (G2A) drone detection in medium- and long-wave infrared (MWIR/LWIR) imagery is challenging due to reduced texture information, sensor noise, weak thermal contrast, and the scarcity of annotated data. This work investigates a synthetic-first training strategy that combines synthetic scene generation with fine-tuning on real data. We show that synthetic data provides an effective…
