The author has plagiarized the thesis work “Contextual Saliency for Detecting Anomalies within Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Video,” (Simon Gokstorp), Master’s Thesis for the degree of Master of Engineering, Durham University, (Supervisor: T.P. Breckon), 2019” by duplicating material from the online repository of the Master Thesis project (https://github.com/Hoclor/CoSADUV-Contextual-Saliency-for-Detecting-Anomalies-in-UAV-Video). One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
