By employing YOLO-Prime to embedded systems such as Nvidia Jetson Xavier Nx and Rockchip 3588, we reduced the inference time by 130% compared to the YOLOv8m model and by 158% compared to the YOLOv8l model. In addition to YOLO-Prime, we present a Morphological CNN (M-CNN) to classify regions detected by YOLO-Prime. With the integration of M-CNN, we achieved an increase in detection accuracy by 20% in the detection of aerial vehicles. Furthermore, we introduce a dynamic linear regression model to predict the future coordinates of aerial vehicles. As a result of the integration of dynamic linear regression models to embedded systems, GPU utilization of deep learning models decreased by approximately 66%. In summary, the combination of YOLO-Prime, M-CNN, and the dynamic linear regression model contributes to detecting aerial vehicles in embedded systems where energy consumption, inference time, and accuracy are crucial for real-time applications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLinear regressionYOLOimage processingCNNOptimized YOLOv8 (YOLO-Prime), M-CNN, and Dynamic Linear Regression for Real-Time Aerial Vehicle Detection in Embedded SystemsConference Object10.1109/ICHORA65333.2025.11017067WOS:0015337928000842-s2.0-105008422457N/AN/A
