Abstract

In this study, the performance of the YOLOv7 model, which can be implemented on embedded systems and FPGAs, was examined for detecting desired targets using civilian and military unmanned aerial vehicles. The performance of its sub-models, YOLOv7-X and YOLOv7-Tiny, was evaluated at different altitudes. The study discusses possible improvements to enable the YOLOv7-Tiny model, which achieved the highest performance, to detect targets from altitudes of up to 500 meters. Initially, the Cycar dataset was used for training To enhance detection at higher altitudes, dataset augmentation was applied, and the DOTA dataset was also utilized. It was observed that the numerical increase in dataset samples significantly contributed to the results
