%O Report %F Dambreville00a %A Dambreville, F. %A Le Cadre, J.P. %T Continuous management of modes and resources in detection of a moving target %N 1334 %I IRISA %X This paper deals with optimization of divisible resources aimed to the detection of a moving target following a Markovian movement or a conditionally deterministic motion. Our work extends Brown's spatial optimization method. By use of a generalized linear formalism, we develop a method for optimizing the search efforts both spatially and temporally (modeling resource renew), with management of multiple resource types or multi-modes resources. Such optimization involves also the fusion of several detection devices, in order to make them work together efficiently %U http://www.irisa.fr/vista/Papers/2000_PI1334_dambreville.pdf %8 June %D 2000
