Environmental Hotspot Identification in Limited Time with a UAV Equipped with a Downward-Facing Camera

Our work is motivated by environmental monitoring tasks, where finding the global maxima (i.e., hotspot) of a spatially varying field is crucial. We investigate the problem of identifying the hotspot for fields that can be sensed using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a downward-facing…
