During the SUAS competition, judges will be scoring air drops during the demonstrations, and will be in the drop area as UAS fly above. Unfortunately, they may be near the emergent object to score those drops. Some current solutions exist to differentiate between an emergent object (mannequin) and a human judge., however they are not perfect.
Solution
Refine the current solutions for judge detection:
Compare bounding box surface area between a judge & mannequin
Track the movement of the figure between photos
Or devise a new strategy for detecting the judges during the mission demonstration.
Additional Information
Code from previous years exists for the two current solutions.
