Popis: This research focuses on the problem of area surveillance, using a UAV with a mounted camera that is controlled chaotically. The chaotic motion of the camera is performed by using the values of a chaotic map, to generate random rotation angles for the camera head, which periodically captures photos of the area to be surveyed. In this way, the position of the camera footprint on the ground is unpredictable, and this makes the surveillance path impossible to predict for an adversary. Thus, this approach allows for increased security when required, since the use of unpredictable agents will make it hard to design infiltration strategies. Simulations are performed for several different scenarios, to evaluate the ground coverage of the chaotic camera, as compared to a camera that constantly looks directly below the UAV.
