Continuous Management of Modes and Resources in Detection of a Moving Target
Résumé
This paper deals with optimization of divisible resources aimed to the detection of a moving target following a Markovian movement or a conditionally deterministic motion. Our work extends Brown's spatial optimization method. By use of a generalized linear formalism, we develop a method for optimizing the search efforts both spatially and temporally (modeling resource renew), with management of multiple resource types or multi-modes resources. Such optimization involves also the fusion of several detection devices, in order to make them work together efficiently.
