Multi-Camera Networks for Coverage Control of Drones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple unmanned multirotor (MUM) systems are becoming a reality. They have wide range of applications such as for surveillance, search and rescue, monitoring operations in hazardous environments providing communication coverage services. Currently, an important issue MUM is control. In this paper, existing control algorithm has been extended to incorporate new sensor model, which downward facing allows pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ). Two constraints, namely view angle collision avoidance, also included. Mobile network among the MUMs studied. Finally, proposed scheme tested computer simulations.

Barrier Coverage for 3D Camera Sensor Networks
Barrier coverage, an important research area with respect to camera sensor networks, consists of a number of camera sensors to detect intruders that pass through the barrier area. Existing works on barrier coverage such as local face-view barrier coverage and full-view barrier coverage typically assume that each intruder is considered as a point. However, the crucial feature (e.g., size) of the...
متن کاملDecentralized adaptive awareness coverage control for multi-agent networks
In this paper a novel problem of adaptive awareness coverage is formulated. We model the mission domain using a density function which characterizes the importance of each point and is unknown beforehand. The desired awareness coverage level over the mission domain is defined as a non-decreasing differentiable function of the density distribution. A decentralized adaptive control strategy is de...

متن کاملCooperative and Distributed Reinforcement Learning of Drones for Field Coverage
This paper proposed a distributed Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithm for a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that can learn to cooperate to provide a full coverage of an unknown field of interest while minimizing the overlapping sections among their field of views. Two challenges in MARL for such a system are discussed in the paper: firstly, the complex dynamic of the joi...
