Why is it important?
It improves border security and surveillance efficiency by optimizing UAV positioning for maximum coverage with minimal energy use. It provides a practical framework for achieving reliable intrusion detection even with the given UAV resources.
Perspectives
Using UAVs with downward-facing cameras, the study ensures continuous monitoring along a region’s border, even with limited sensors. Optimization techniques are applied to maximize coverage and minimize energy use.
