Optimal Coverage for Multiple Hovering Robots with Downward-Facing Cameras

This paper presents a distributed control strategy for deploying hovering robots with multiple downward facing cameras to collectively monitor an environment. Information per pixel is proposed as an optimization criterion for multi-camera placement problems. This metric is used to derive a specific...
