Watch from sky: machine-learning-based multi-UAV network for predictive police surveillance
This paper presents the watch-from-sky framework, where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play four roles, i.e., sensing, data forwarding, computing, and patrolling, for predictive police surveillance. Our framework is promising for crime deterrence because UAVs are useful for collecting and distributing data and have high mobility. Our framework relies on machine learning (ML) technology for controlling and dispatching UAVs and predicting crimes. This paper compares the conceptual model of our framework against the literature. It also reports a simulation of UAV dispatching using reinforcement learning and distributed ML inference over a lossy UAV network.
