1. A method for identifying an aerial object type corresponding to an aerial object in a particular air space, comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a first video frame and a second video frame from a video feed of the particular air space, the first video frame comprising a first plurality of pixels and the second video frame comprising a second plurality of pixels, wherein the video feed is captured by a particular video sensor proximate to the particular air space and wherein the first video frame is captured earlier in time than the second video frame;

    identifying a first region of interest (ROI) in the first video frame and a second ROI in the second video frame, the first ROI and the second ROI each comprising an image of an object flying within the particular air space, wherein the first ROI comprises a subset of the first plurality of pixels and the second ROI comprises a subset of the second plurality of pixels;

    comparing a determined size of the first ROI to a determined size of the second ROI to determine a delta size parameter between the first ROI and the second ROI;

    determining whether the delta size parameter is within a predetermined size threshold expected for a particular object type;

    upon determination that the delta size parameter is within the predetermined size threshold, comparing a determined center position of the first ROI to a determined center position of the second ROI to determine a spatial location change of the object within the particular air space;

    determining whether the spatial location change of the object is within a predetermined position change threshold expected for the particular object type; and

    upon determination that the spatial location change of the object is within the predetermined position change threshold, denoting the object in the image as the particular object type.
