Directional-Sensor Network Deployment Planning for Mobile-Target Search by Shiraz Wasim, Zendai Kashino, Goldie Nejat, Beno Benhabib

“…In this paper, a novel time-phased directional-sensor network deployment strategy is presented for the mobile-target search problem, e.g., wilderness search and rescue (WiSAR). The proposed strategy uses probabilistic target-motion models combined with a variation of a standard direct search algorithm to plan the optimal locations of directional-sensors which maximize the likelihood of target detection. …”
