Popis: Detection of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their classification on the basis of acoustic signals recorded in the presence of UAVs is a very important source of information. Such information can be the basis of certain decisions. It can support the autonomy of drones and their decision-making system, enabling them to cooperate in a swarm. The aim of this study was to classify acoustic signals recorded in the presence of 17 drones while they hovered individually at a height of 8 m above the recording equipment. The signals were obtained for the drones one at a time in external environmental conditions. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) were evaluated from the recorded signals. A discriminant analysis was performed based on 12 MFCCs. The grouping factor was the drone model. The result of the classification is a score of 98.8%. This means that on the basis of acoustic signals recorded in the presence of a drone, it is possible not only to detect the object but also to classify its model.
