Autonomous Navigation and Deployment of UAVs for Communication, Surveillance and Delivery by Hailong Huang & Andrey V. Savkin & Chao Huang

Description

Autonomous Navigation and Deployment of UAVs for Communication, Surveillance and Delivery

Authoritative resource offering coverage of communication, surveillance, and delivery problems for teams of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)

Autonomous Navigation and Deployment of UAVs for Communication, Surveillance and Delivery studies various elements of deployment of networks of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base stations for providing communication to ground users in disaster areas, covering problems like ground traffic monitoring, surveillance of environmental disaster areas (e.g. brush fires), using UAVs in rescue missions, converting UAV video surveillance, and more. The work combines practical problems, implementable and computationally efficient algorithms to solve these problems, and mathematically rigorous proofs of each algorithm?s convergence and performance.
