    摘要: A system and method for decentralized cooperative control of a team of agents for geographic and other search tasks. The approach is behavior-based and uses probability particle approach to the search problem. Agents are attracted to probability distributions in the form of virtual particles of probability that represent hypotheses about the existence of objects of interest in a geographic area or a data-space. Reliance on dependable, high-bandwidth communication is reduced by modeling the movements of other team members and the objects of interest between periodic update messages.

    摘要: The present invention relates to computing reachable areas given a first point. More specifically, the present invention relates to the computation of an intersection between a first surface and a second surface for determining a set of points that are reachable from a first point. Using the present invention, a user can determine either (1) a locus of target sites that can be struck by a ballistic projectile from a given launch site, or (2) a locus of launch sites that can be used to hit a given target site. The disclosed system and method employs graphics hardware to determine an intersection between a first surface defined by trajectory paths, and a second surface defined by terrain.

    摘要: Moving a target mobile node to arrange a number of mobile nodes includes determining a first direction. A first relative position for each of the neighboring mobile nodes of the target mobile node is established. The target mobile node moves according to a first alignment procedure to align the mobile nodes in the first direction. A second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction is determined. A second relative position for each of the neighboring mobile nodes is established. The target mobile node moves according to a second alignment procedure to align the mobile nodes in the second direction.

    摘要: An apparatus configured to obtain, process, and relay data to a user in a coherent and useful manner. An active fiducial is equipped with an interface for receiving and transmitting data. The fiducial may transmit its position using a satellite-based position sensing device such as a GPS. Active fiducials may also be equipped with battery power pack regenerated with solar cells. Similarly, the fiducials can be equipped with at least one video camera or other device having a focal plane array and a computer software system, configured to recognize shapes. The fiducials may also be equipped with inductive coils or other means for sensing metal containing compounds. The active fiducials may be equipped with a gas chromatograph. The active fiducials may use a variety of propulsion means including motor driven tracks, motor driven wheels, propellers, or other device or a combination of devices.

    摘要: Described is a method for event localization within a distributed sensor array using a plurality of sensor nodes. The method includes an act of receiving a signal in at least one detecting node. The signal originates from an external disturbance and has a local signal such that the local signal reflects a relative proximity (i.e., between the detecting nodes) to the external disturbance. The method also includes acts of exchanging information regarding the signal between the detecting node and nearby nodes; and localizing the external disturbance based on its relative proximity. Through receiving a signal that reflects a relative proximity to the external disturbance and exchanging that information between nearby nodes, the sensor array localizes the external disturbance.
