Multi-UAV Based Crowd Monitoring System

IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, 2020
This article presents the development of a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based crowd monitoring system, demonstrating a system that uses UAVs to periodically monitor a group of moving walking individuals. Using auction paradigms to distribute targets among UAVs and genetic algorithms to calculate the best order to visit the targets, the system ...

Multi-UAV motion planning for guaranteed search

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2013
We consider the problem of detecting all moving and evading targets in 2.5D environments with teams of UAVs. Targets are assumed to be fast and omniscient while UAVs are only equipped with limited range detection sensors and have no prior knowledge about the location of targets.

Multi token circulation for Multi-UAV systems

2015 23nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2015
In Multi Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) systems, communication is an important problem. Flying Ad Hoc Network (FANET) structure is a solution for communication problem in Multi UAV systems. On the other hand, UAVs also need coordinate information of each other to perform the collective flight seamlessly.

An Autonomous Multi-UAV System for Search and Rescue

Proceedings of the First Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use, 2015
This paper proposes and evaluates a modular architecture of an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for search and rescue missions. Multiple multicopters are coordinated using a distributed control system. The system is implemented in the Robot Operating System (ROS) and is capable of providing a real-time video stream from a UAV to one or ...

A proposal of methodology for multi-UAV mission modeling

2015 23rd Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED), 2015
The emergence of multi-UAV missions poses a set of challenges. The control and monitoring of these missions requires to increase the autonomy of fleets and to reduce the workload of operators. The development of an appropriate mission model is fundamental not only for specification and planning but also for control and monitoring.

Vision-based multi-UAV position estimation

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2006
This paper describes a method for vision-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) motion estimation from multiple planar homographies. The paper also describes the determination of the relative displacement between different UAVs employing techniques for blob feature extraction and matching. It then presents and shows experimental results of the application
