Multi-robot target detection and tracking: taxonomy and survey
2015
Autonomous Robots
Target detection and tracking encompasses a variety of decisional problems such as coverage, surveillance, search, patrolling, observing and pursuit-evasion along with others. ...
In this article, our objective is to go beyond the frontiers of specific communities and specific problems, and to enlarge the scope of prior surveys. ...
It is also worth noticing that their objectives differ from the traditional idleness: they interestingly assume that the intrusion cannot be preventde but only delayed, and try to maximize the expected ...
