Multi-robot target detection and tracking: taxonomy and survey

C Robin, S Lacroix - Autonomous Robots, 2016 - Springer
Target detection and tracking encompasses a variety of decisional problems such as
coverage, surveillance, search, patrolling, observing and pursuit-evasion along with others …

On the existence of nash equilibrium for a two-player pursuit—evasion game with visibility constraints

S Bhattacharya, S Hutchinson - The International Journal of …, 2010 - journals.sagepub.com
In this paper, we present a game-theoretic analysis of a visibility-based pursuit—evasion
game in a planar environment containing obstacles. The pursuer and the evader are …

A point-based POMDP planner for target tracking

D Hsu, WS Lee, N Rong - 2008 IEEE International Conference …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Target tracking has two variants that are often studied independently with different
approaches: target searching requires a robot to find a target initially not visible, and target …

Visibility transition planning for dynamic camera control

T Oskam, RW Sumner, N Thuerey… - Proceedings of the 2009 …, 2009 - dl.acm.org
We present a real-time camera control system that uses a global planning algorithm to
compute large, occlusion free camera paths through complex environments. The algorithm …

Surveillance and collision-free tracking of an aggressive evader with an actuated sensor pursuer

E Lozano, U Ruiz, I Becerra… - IEEE Robotics and …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This letter addresses a visibility-based pursuit-evasion game. The pursuer's task is to
maintain the evader's visibility continuously. The evader's objective is to avoid the pursuer's …

A cell decomposition approach to visibility-based pursuit evasion among obstacles

S Bhattacharya, S Hutchinson - The International Journal of …, 2011 - journals.sagepub.com
In this paper, we address the problem of surveillance in an environment with obstacles. We
consider the problem in which a mobile observer attempts to maintain visual contact with a …

Visibility transition planning for dynamic camera control

R Sumner, M Gross, N Thuerey, T Oskam - US Patent 8,576,235, 2013 - Google Patents
A camera control system is provided that uses global planning to compute large, occlusion
free camera paths through complex environments, incorporating visibility of a focus point …

Tracking an omnidirectional evader with a differential drive robot

R Murrieta-Cid, U Ruiz, JL Marroquin, JP Laumond… - Autonomous …, 2011 - Springer
In this paper we consider the surveillance problem of tracking a moving evader by a
nonholonomic mobile pursuer. We deal specifically with the situation in which the only …

A complexity result for the pursuit-evasion game of maintaining visibility of a moving evader

R Murrieta-Cid, R Monroy, S Hutchinson… - … on Robotics and …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we consider the problem of maintaining visibility of a moving evader by a
mobile robot, the pursuer, in an environment with obstacles. We simultaneously consider …

Approximate Methods for Visibility-Based Pursuit-Evasion

E Antonio, I Becerra… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
To the best of our knowledge, an exact solution to the visibility-based pursuit–evasion
problem with point agents and polygonal obstacles addressed in this work is not known …
