Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) suffers from the hot spot problem where the sensor nodes closest to the base station are need to relay more packet than the nodes farther away from the base station. Thus, lifetime of sensory network depends…
Relay drones in delay-tolerant applications are dispatched to remote locations in order to gather data transmitted by a source node. Collected data are stored on the drones and delivered to one or multiple bases. This paper considers two…
Path planning in the presence of dynamic obstacles is a challenging problem due to the added time dimension in search space. In approaches that ignore the time dimension and treat dynamic obstacles as static, frequent re-planning is…
The growing ubiquity of drones has raised concerns over the ability of traditional air-space monitoring technologies to accurately characterise such vehicles. Here, we present a CNN using a decision tree and ensemble structure to fully…
Drones in many applications need the ability to fly fully or partially autonomously to accomplish their mission. To allow these fully/partially autonomous flights, first, the drone needs to be able to locate itself constantly. Then the…
Platelet extraction requires whole blood to be processed within six hours of donation. To meet this deadline, blood collection organizations must optimally route a fleet of vehicles to pick up blood units from donation sites and deliver…
This paper is concerned with finding an optimal path for an observer, or sensor, moving at a constant speed, which is to estimate the position of a stationary target, using only bearing angle measurements. The generated path is optimal in…
Despite achieving remarkable progress in recent years, single-image super-resolution methods are developed with several limitations. Specifically, they are trained on fixed content domains with certain degradations (whether synthetic or…
In research paper "Accurate estimation of the target location of object with energy constraint & Adaptive Update Algorithms to Save Data" one of the central issues in sensor networks is track the location, of moving object which have…

This paper presents a wireless data collection framework that employs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to efficiently gather data from distributed IoT sensors deployed in a large area. Our approach takes into account the non-zero…
This project was built from a pre-existing architecture that facilitates the planning and automatic execution of drone routes in a known space through a 3D virtual reality environment. Our work consisted in extending this architecture by…
We introduce a package service model where trucks as well as drones can deliver packages. Drones can travel on trucks or fly; but while flying, drones can only carry one package at a time and have to return to a truck to charge after each…
This paper investigates the pursuit-evasion problem of a defensive gun turret and one or more attacking drones. The turret must ``visit" each attacking drone once, as quickly as possible, to defeat the threat. This constitutes a Shortest…
In WSN, each sensor is responsible for sensing environmental conditions and sending them to the one or more base stations. Battery-operated sensors are severely constrained by the amount of energy that can be spend for transmitting these…
