This paper addresses a problem of autonomous navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the surveillance of multiple moving ground targets. The ground can be flat or uneven. A reactive real-time sliding mode control algorithm is proposed that navigates a team of communicating UAVs, equipped with ground-facing video cameras, towards moving targets to increase some measure of sensing coverage of the targets by the UAVs. Moreover, the Voronoi partitioning technique is adopted to reduce the m ...[more]
