What is it about?
This work proposes an optimization-based approach for achieving high-quality barrier coverage using UAVs with downward-facing cameras, incorporating a resolution-based cost function and overlap constraints. It also introduces a fault-tolerant model that redeploys neighboring UAVs to maintain continuous coverage despite failures of UAVs.

Why is it important?
This work improves the reliability and quality of UAV-based border surveillance by accounting for camera resolution, overlap, and fault tolerance. It enables continuous and precise barrier coverage even under UAV failures or irregular border shapes.
Perspectives
This work provides a practical and adaptive framework for UAV-based border security, addressing real-world factors like resolution and faults. It also advances autonomous, resilient surveillance across arbitrary-shaped borders.
