Total list

• 1 Talks about how drones can autonomously find survivors by scanning the environment. They offer a high potential for fast and efficient response during a rescue mission. What should the drone do to help the survivors. Needs to observe its environment to avoid a collision.

• 2 Discusses failure of a drone system, espionage due to hacking, and autonomous finding of survivors. (Weinig text om er meer over te zeggen)

• 3 Presents a vision where the drones provide wireless communication between survivors and cellular infrastructure. (Geen toegang tot volledige artikel)

• 4 Drones become more affordable and the technologies become more advanced, this makes it increasingly more suitable to implement into real disasters. Talks about implementation requirements and about how drones increase the efficiency of rescue personnel even if they are not adept at using it.

• 5 Applications of drones in different kinds of disasters, floods, earthquakes, forest fires and nuclear disasters

• 6 The use of MIMO for communication between drones (Extreme list of equations basically saying that it shows potential)

• 7 Talks about the feasibility of a multi-tier drone architecture over single tier drones in terms of efficiency. This increases efficiency and reduces path loss.

• 8 Discusses the useful sections of implementing drones in rescue scenarios, as well as how to manage certain aspects of it. It gives a summary of various communication aspects and issues related to their deployment.

• 9 Discussion on why opportunistic networks aren't more common in todays world

• 10 General applications for drones

• 11 Optimization approaches for different civil applications of drones and characteristics of those types of drones, drones are extremely versatile and new uses are always found for them.

• 12 Mainly talks about how paths are found for drones to follow. and how trajectory planning works, uses decision making and direction of target given a path to decide what to do.

• 13 Creates a solution for detecting natural obstacles such as trees, and proposes a type of sensor for this.

• 14. Talks about the usage of drones as cellular network beacons in cities after some calamity. Presents a stochastic model to predict how many drones are necessary for a given situation. We could do something similar for our number.

• 15. Discusses the differences in effectiveness between different kinds of camera techniques used in forest fire observation. Concludes that these camera\analysis techniques still have trouble distinguishing between forest fires of different types of foliage. Improvement on this could greatly improve the accuracy of prediction of the speed at which fire spreads.

• 16. Proposes usage of a network of drones, but does not provide further information on this network. Shows that drones are capable of carrying numerous pieces of useful equipment over longer distances when well-designed.

• 17. Article discusses usage of fire detection algorithms from space, concludes that these detection methods are quite accurate and mature except for small or relatively cold fires. Reason why our project may be very useful.

• 18. Proposes HAC-ER, a system for cooperation between information-gathering agents and humans in disaster regions. Shows great promise, problems mainly arise due to airports not easily allowing UAVs in their active airspace.

• 19. This article is not accessible using a TU licence. Abstract talks about integrating calculations for path planning between different scales of a system (i.e. destination of each agent vs. not crashing into each other etc.).

• 20. Article discusses general ethicalness of CCTV surveillance. Concludes that partially automated data analysis from these systems is more ethically preferable to manual analysis. Hard to relate to our case specifically, but could spark the discussion of ethicalness of our system.
• 21. Article discusses ethical feasibility of facial recognition systems. Seems unrelated to our project entirely.

• 22. Article discusses the benefits and drawbacks of two different communication methods for drone swarms, also explains them. Very useful and relevant for later stage of our project.

• 23. Article acts as an example of how to effectively set up a communication network for a 'swarm' of agents, how to get them to perform tasks. Super useful, but hard to follow.

• 24. Article talks about the recognition of humans in all resolutions of IR-photo's. Uses a set of learning pictures to teach the system how a human looks. Very good at finding humans, so state-of-the-art for detecting humans can be defined using this.

• 25. Design for a fully autonomous/wireless drone charging station. Useful if we want to include a charging station in our strategy.

• 26.Another article about finding humans from camera imagery, this time combined with google maps data and includes an analysis of false positive rates.
