title = "Collaborative visual area coverage using aerial agents equipped with PTZ-cameras under localization uncertainty",
abstract = "Mobile Aerial Agents (MAAs) using localization-sensors suffer from their inherent localization uncertainty. These MAAs are equipped with Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras and thru their 3D-altitude and camera parameters control survey the area underneath them. For a larger convex area, the MAAs transmit to their neighbors their PTZ and altitude parameters. Using a Voronoi-free area tessellation framework and a gradient scheme, a collaborative control framework is provided to maximize the covered area. Simulation studies are offered to investigate the effectiveness of the suggested scheme.",
