1. A computer implemented method for monitoring unmanned aerial vehicles, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a captured image of an observed unmanned aerial vehicle, the captured image including measured data;
comparing the measured data with an unmanned aerial vehicle database, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle database comprises unmanned aerial vehicle identification information and registered routing information;
determining that a status of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle is authorized or unauthorized based at least in part on the comparison; and
generating a report, which is indicative of the status of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle being authorized or unauthorized, in accordance with the status of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle being determined to be authorized or unauthorized, respectively,wherein;
the measured data comprises a measured distance and a measured angle,the method further comprises determining a location of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle from the measured distance and the measured angle,the comparing comprises comparing the location of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle with unmanned aerial vehicle identification information and registered routing information of an unmanned aerial vehicle database, andthe determining of the status of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle as being authorized or unauthorized is based on the location of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle being consistent or inconsistent with the unmanned aerial vehicle identification information and the registered routing information, respectively.

6. A computer program product for monitoring unmanned aerial vehicles, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
-
receive, by a processor, a captured image of a location where an unmanned aerial vehicle is expected, the captured image including measured data; compare the measured data with an unmanned aerial vehicle database wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle database comprises unmanned aerial vehicle identification information and registered routing information; determine if an unmanned aerial vehicle is supposed to be and is within the captured image; and generate an indicator of the unmanned aerial vehicle being authorized based on the determination indicating that the unmanned aerial vehicle should be and is within the captured image or that the unmanned aerial vehicle is unauthorized based on the determination indicating that the unmanned aerial vehicle should be but is not within the captured image or should not be but is within the captured image, wherein; the measured data comprises a measured distance and a measured angle, the method further comprises determining a location of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle from the measured distance and the measured angle, the comparing comprises comparing the location of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle with unmanned aerial vehicle identification information and registered routing information of an unmanned aerial vehicle database, and the determining of the status of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle as being authorized or unauthorized is based on the location of the observed unmanned aerial vehicle being consistent or inconsistent with the unmanned aerial vehicle identification information and the registered routing information, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
