Planning-based Routing for Area Sensing

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in disaster monitoring because they can be equipped with infrared cameras and work both daytime and in the night. Currently, UAVs are widely available such that every household can buy an UAV and program it to do a desired task. When a disaster occurs, the UAV of each household should work collaboratively in order to collect information in an efficient manner. In this paper, we propose a planning-based routing protocol for area sensing. The proposed protocol exploits planned route of each node to collect information efficiently.
