Abstract:In this work we address the problem of autonomously tracking a group of ground static targets in an urban area using fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this scenario, UAVs are equipped with sensors that are subject to the constraints of urban area occlusions. Information regarding the line of sight (LOS) occlusions in the urban area is assumed available. Each UAV, considering the dynamic constrains arising from the fixed wing, is modeled as a Dubins car. The motion planning of searching the shortes… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
