Paper Abstract
The goal of sensor resource management (SRM) is to allocate resources appropriately in order to gain as much
information as possible about a system. In our previous paper, we introduced a centralized non-myopic planning
algorithm, C-SPLAN, that uses sparse sampling to estimate the value of resource assignments. Sparse sampling is related
to Monte Carlo simulation. In the SRM problem we consider, our network of sensors observes a set of tracks; each
sensor can be set to operate in one of several modes and/or viewing geometries. Each mode incurs a different cost and
provides different information about the tracks. Each track has a kinematic state and is of a certain class; the sensors can
observe either or both of these, depending on their mode of operation. The goal is to maximize the overall rate of
information gain, i.e. rate of improvement in kinematic tracking and classification accuracy of all tracks in the Area of
Interest. We compared C-SPLAN's performance on several tracking and target identification problems to that of other
algorithms. In this paper we extend our approach to a distributed framework and present the D-SPLAN algorithm. We
compare the performance as well as computational and communications costs of C-SPLAN and D-SPLAN as well as
near-term planners.
