The real paper title is too long to fit: "FlyTrap: Physical Distance-Pulling Attack Towards Camera-based Autonomous Target Tracking Systems"
Twenty second demonstration video: https://youtu.be/tXDb5lqqFgw?si=NcAxtJIPVaLgYmun
Video link without tracking: https://youtu.be/tXDb5lqqFgw
Mobile abbreviates the URL and I missed it! Thanks, too late to edit unfortunately.
Pretty cool. I think a combo of that and emergency blankets (which hide your heat signature) will make you invisible to drones.
"Adversarial umbrella" is my band's new name
I'm not sure the "painting" of the umbrella added much benefit. Most of the tracking ability would be lost with any opaque head covering
Then I think you're missing the point. Any opaque head covering would not be enough to bring the drone in to capturing or sensor attacking distance. The point is to get the drone to close distance not to stop tracking.
