Autonomous Navigation and Deployment of UAVs for Communication, Surveillance and Delivery
Authoritative  resource offering coverage of communication, surveillance, and delivery  problems for teams of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)

Autonomous  Navigation and Deployment of UAVs for Communication, Surveillance and  Delivery studies various elements of deployment of networks of unmanned  aerial vehicle (UAV) base stations for providing communication to ground  users in disaster areas, covering problems like ground traffic  monitoring, surveillance of environmental disaster areas (e.g. brush  fires), using UAVs in rescue missions, converting UAV video  surveillance, and more. The work combines practical problems,  implementable and computationally efficient algorithms to solve these  problems, and mathematically rigorous proofs of each algorithm’s  convergence and performance.

One such example provided by the  authors is a novel biologically inspired motion camouflage algorithm to  covert video surveillance of moving targets by an unmanned aerial  vehicle (UAV). All autonomous navigation and deployment algorithms  developed in the book are computationally efficient, easily  implementable in engineering practice, and based only on limited  information on other UAVs of each and the environment.

Sample topics discussed in the work include:
Deployment  of UAV base stations for communication, especially with regards to  maximizing coverage and minimizing interferenceDeployment of UAVs for  surveillance of ground areas and targets, including surveillance of both  flat and uneven areasNavigation of UAVs for surveillance of moving  areas and targets, including disaster areas and ground traffic  monitoringAutonomous UAV navigation for covert video surveillance,  offering extensive coverage of optimization-based navigationIntegration  of UAVs and public transportation vehicles for parcel delivery, covering  both one-way and round trips
Professionals in navigation and  deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles, along with researchers,  engineers, scientists in intersecting fields, can use Autonomous  Navigation and Deployment of UAVs for Communication, Surveillance and  Delivery to gain general knowledge on the subject along with practical,  precise, and proven algorithms that can be deployed in a myriad of  practical situations.
