Title
Distributed aerial scanning in mobile ad-hoc networks
Abstract
We formally define the aerial scanning problem. A set of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cooperate to frequently scan a given geographic area. Each UAV can only photograph a small portion of it at a time. Each UAV maintains the necessary information to create a global picture of the geographic area. This global picture consists of smaller pictures that are taken within small time of each other and also none is taken too far in the past. UAVs exchange information over a synchronous mobile ad-hoc network. For this network, we propose efficient solutions to the aerial scanning problem that tolerate a bounded number of UAV failures.
