And, this problem of establishing LOS between neighbor nodes become even more challenging when they have no a priori information about each other's location. In this paper, we present a heuristic for LOS neighbor discovery between two drones capable of scanning the 3D space around them using highly directional transceivers. The drones can mechanically steer their respective transceivers with randomly chosen angular speeds on arbitrary circular paths and perform a simple three-way handshake to discover each other. They change the circular scanning paths and angular speeds if the discovery is not successful within an optimal time interval. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that using such mechanically steerable highly directional transceivers, two neighbor drones can discover each other successfully even without prior location information about each other and without any omnidirectional out-of-band channel to exchange information with each other.","PeriodicalId":237910,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131984931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large-scale natural disasters test the most fundamental human instinct of survival by inflicting massive, and often unpredictable loss to life and property. Various types of natural disasters have been classified in [1] according to the technology that can be used to respond to them: geophysical (earthquake, tsunami, volcano, landslide, avalanche), hydrological (flash-floods, debris flow, floods), climatological (extreme temperature, drought, wildfire) andmeteorological (tropical storm, hurricane, sandstorm, heavy rainfall), among others, have caused losses of many lives in addition to increase in material losses in the order of 100% – 150% over the period of last 30 years [7]. Acknowledging the need for bolstering disaster resilience, this paper contributes a vision of leveraging the latest advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to enhance the ability of network-assisted disaster prediction, assessment and response. Around 47% of the overall losses and 45% of the insured losses derived from inland flooding that occurred in Europe, Canada, Asia and Australia. Altogether, at around US$ 45bn, losses from natural catastrophes were below the average amount for the past ten years (US$ 85bn). Insured losses totaled approximately US$ 13bn. Thus, in this paper, we will focus our attention on inland flooding events, and a special emphasis will be given at mobility schemes for UAVs coverage [9].","PeriodicalId":237910,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130003422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As this complex task requires a high workload and situation awareness while controlling the camera, an uncluttered and efficient user interface (UI) is preferred. The emergence of mobile devices and motion control devices incorporating automation made touch-based UIs attractive to operators. Much work has already been done on UI adaptation strategies. However, little work is trying to solve the problem of combining manual control and automation within a UI. Especially with a central premise of minimising occlusion and visual clutter in a cinematic context. We, therefore, conducted a first user study (N=15) to evaluate different design alternatives regarding occlusion and preference. Afterwards, we created a functional prototype of the most promising design. To further reduce the occlusion we applied a progressive reduction adaption strategy. We evaluated the influence of different reduction levels on workload, control, creativity support and precision in a second user study (N=24). While we could reduce the clutter, due to our design decisions we found no negative effects affecting the measured variables.","PeriodicalId":237910,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123169364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
