Advances in neural networks have enabled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to detect and recognize objects in real time, which has facilitated the use of UAVs autonomously in a variety of scenarios, including fire detection in emergency situations. The paper reviews a number of existing neural network-based detection algorithms, including convolutional neural networks, regional convolutional neural networks and their variants, deep neural networks with convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM), methods integrating deep learning with correlation filtering through self-training, Siamese neural networks for target tracking, and the YOLO (You Only Look Once) family of algorithms. The main characteristics and differences between neural network algorithms are described, and a comparison of their performance in terms of mean average precision (mAP) and frame rate per second (FPS) is given. The conclusions of the article provide insight into the trade-offs between accuracy, speed and task-specific requirements in de
