SuMo-SS: Submodular Optimization Sensor Scattering for
Deploying Sensor Networks by Drones
Komei Sugiura
National Institute of Information and Communications Tech., Japan

Presentation #8
Target task = sensor scattering:
Automatic deployment of disposable wireless sensors by a drone
Motivation
• Deploying sensors by drones instead of humans has advantages in terms of
worker safety and time requirements
Technical challenge
• Optimal plan to maximize information gain from scattered sensors

Presentation #8
We prove that SubModular Sensor Scattering (SuMo-SS) is online, semi-
optimal, and can handle uncertainty
Sensor scattering problem is NP-hard
• Combinatorial explosion
Related work utilized submodular
optimization (e.g. [Krause 08])
• (1-1/e)-approximation = 63% of optimal
score is guaranteed
• However, uncertainty was not handled

• Does not suffer from combinatorial
explosion
• (1-1/e)-approximation is guaranteed

Sensor model
1. Observations from sensor sets follow the
Gaussian distribution
2. Covariance between observations y and y’
can be approximated by the RBF kernel
SuMo-SS does not need to know actual landed positions of sensors
Sensor positions
Input: Covariance between previously scattered
sensors and their target positions
Output: Next target position & info. gain
We give theoretical proof on
submodularity
No information about actual
landed positions is required

Experimental setup:
We used a simulation environment to make experimental results reproducible
Physical model
• AR.Drone 2.0 with a customized
electromagnetic device for
attaching/detaching a sensor
• Monocular SLAM[Engel+ 14]
Simulation model
• Purpose: To make the results
reproducible
– cf. Estimated lifetime of the
physical drone is <100 h

Quantitative results: Proposed method obtained larger mutual information
than baseline and random selection methods
Metric = Cumulative mutual info.
(a) Proposed (SuMo-SS)
(b) Baseline [Krause 08]
(c) Random selection
Sensitivity analysis
• Proposed method outperformed
the baseline[Krause 08] in 43/49
conditions
