Coverage Technology of Autonomous Mobile Mapping Robots
Seung‐Hwan Lee · IntechOpen eBooks · 2022
The coverage technique is one of the essential applications of autonomous mobile mapping robots. There are various approaches for coverage depending on the model (model/non-model), robot systems (single/multi), and its purpose (patrol/cleaning). Coverage components include viewpoint generation and path planning approaches, which are described as CPP research work. Particularly, in surveillance systems, coverage techniques, such as spanning tree, cyclic coverage, and area-based coverage, are reviewed specifically, which can be expanded for multi-robot systems. In addition, required coverage techniques according to conditions for intelligent surveillance systems are summarized. Lastly, several issues on coverage, specifically cyclic coverage, are described and considered.
