Vision-based Detection of Autonomous Vehicles for Pursuit-evasion Games

We present a vision-based algorithm for the detection of multiple autonomous vehicles for a pursuit-evasion game scenario. Our algorithm computes estimates of the pose of multiple moving evaders from visual information collected by multiple moving pursuers, without previous knowledge of the segmentation of the image measurements or the number of moving evaders. We evaluate our algorithm in purs...

How Pursuit-evasion Games help

Model Checking Knowledge in Pursuit Evasion Games

In a pursuit-evasion game, one or more pursuers aim to discover the existence of, and then capture, an evader. The paper studies pursuit-evasion games in which players may have incomplete information concerning the game state. A methodology is presented for the application of a model checker for the logic of knowledge and time to verify epistemic properties in such games. Experimental results a...

Game Theory Models for Pursuit Evasion Games

In a pursuit evasion game, the pursuer tries to capture the evader while the evader tries to prevent this capture. A classical approach is to model this game as an infinite differential game. In this report, we model a pursuit-evasion game as a finite extensive form game, and show that the differential game is a generalization of this game. We prove that a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium always ...

Guaranteed Strategies for nonlinear Multi-Player Pursuit-Evasion Games

In this paper, we provide a methodology to design strategies for either guaranteed capture or guaranteed evasion in the case of pursuit-evasion games with multiple players which are represented by nonlinear dynamic models. This methodology is based on the continuously differentiable upper and lower approximations of the minimum and maximum function of an arbitrary number of arguments, compariso...
