Abstract | This paper addresses the problem of designing objective functions for autonomous surveillance-target search & tracking (S&T) - by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A typical S&T mission inherently includes multiple, most often conflicting, objectives such as detection, survival, and tracking. A common approach to cope with this issue is to optimize a convex combination (weighted sum) of the individual objectives. In practice, determining the weights of a multiobjective combination is, more or less, a guesswork whose success is highly dependant on the designer's assessment and intuition. An optimal (tradeoff) point in the performance space is hard to come up with by varying the weights of the individual objectives. In this paper the optimal weights design problem is treated more systematically, in a rigorous multiobjective optimization (MOO) framework. The approach is based on finding a set of optimal points (Pareto front) in the performance space and solving the inverse problem - determine the weights corresponding to a chosen optimal performance (trade-off) point. The implementation is done through the known normal boundary intersection (NBI) numerical method for computing the Pareto front. The use of the proposed methodology is illustrated by several case studies of typical S&T scenarios. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
