Omni-Directional Surveillance for Unmanned Water Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a framework for automatic maritime visual surveillance using an unmanned water vehicle (UWV). The UWV is equipped with a GPS, an e-compass and a high resolution omni-camera. A fast algorithm is proposed to automatically calibrate the moving omni-camera in real time. Moreover, a saliency based visual attention method is used for target detection. Targets are tracked using adaptively selected discriminative features and mean shift. Target locations are then geo-registered to a map, and displayed on a situational awareness console. Experiments on real data in a system deployment demonstrate the effectiveness of the maritime surveillance framework.

Security Estimation Model for Military Aircrafts Using Directional Antennas
In the real military scenarios and particularly using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that perform aspecific communication task; it is not desirable to have an antenna that covers a wide angle. Omni directional antenna transmits power into all directions and thus it gives transmitter benefits of increasing the probability of being detected by hostile receivers. This paper addresses the problem ...
متن کاملA Novel Communication-Less Approach to Task Allocation for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
In this paper, we present a scalable, decentralized task allocation algorithm for a group of unknown number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which are equipped with GPS receivers, synchronized clocks and omni-directional sensors with a finite, but known field-of-view to identify neighbors. The algorithm assigns subgroups of UAVs, whose initial positions are randomly scattered in a bounded sp...
متن کاملUsing BELBIC based optimal controller for omni-directional threewheel robots model identified by LOLIMOT
In this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to control omni-directional robots motion. First, the dynamics of the three wheel robots, as a nonlinear plant with considerable uncertainties, is identified using an efficient algorithm of training, named LoLiMoT. Then, an intelligent controller based on brain emotional learning algorithm is applied to the identified model. This emotional l...

The proven value of DOD Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will ultimately transition to National and Homeland Security missions that require real-time aerial surveillance, situation awareness, force protection, and sensor placement. Public services first responders who routinely risk personal safety to assess and report a situation for emergency actions will likely be the first to benefit from th...
متن کاملDirect Optimal Motion Planning for Omni-directional Mobile Robots under Limitation on Velocity and Acceleration
This paper describes a low computational direct approach for optimal motion planning and obstacle avoidance of Omni-directional mobile robots within velocity and acceleration constraints on the robot motion. The main purpose of this problem is the minimization of a quadratic cost function while limitation on velocity and acceleration of robot is considered and collision with any obstacle in the...
