However, how to efficiently deploy limited UAVs to patrol on borders of large areas remains challenging. In this paper, we first model the problem of deploying UAVs for border patrol as a Stackelberg game. Two players are considered in this game: The border patrol agency is the leader,who optimizes the patrol path of UAVs to detect the illegal immigrant. The illegal immigrant is the follower, who selects a certain area of the border to pass through at a certain time after observing the leader’s strategy. Second, a compact linear programming problem is proposed to tackle the exponential growth of the number of leader’s strategies. Third, a method is proposed to reduce the size of the strategy space of the follower. Then, we provide some theoretic results to present the effect of parameters of the model on leader’s utilities. Experimental results demonstrate the positive effect of limited starting and ending areas of UAV’s patrolling conditions and multiple patrolling altitudes on the leader ’s utility, and show that the proposed solution outperforms two conventional patrol strategies and has strong robustness.展开更多

In orde...The network anomaly detection in intelligent patrol is based on the trigger of a single threshold of network element performance parameters in patrol task, which has a high false alarm rate and low efficiency. In order to effectively and accurately integrate network performance, this paper proposes to mine network element performance data and network element log information in the integrated automatic patrol to detect network anomalies. Because log files have a large amount of data and a variety of types, and log data has a complex structure and contains large implied information. The relationship between network anomalies and time can actively discover through the analysis of the log files. Therefore, big data mining and classification can greatly improve the efficiency of data processing. However, the accuracy of finding network anomalies is insufficient only for log analysis. Therefore, this paper puts forward the performance indexes collected in the log analysis and patrol inspection system and adopts the sequence analysis algorithm to detect network anomalies, so as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of detection.展开更多

However, Savannah’s mountains in Sudan have been affected by the loss of diversity due to human activities and climate changes. Therefore, this study aims to assess changes in wildlife diversity in Jebel-Eldair Nation Park (JENP) based on only reports from patrolling activities, especially in the absence of regular wildlife monitoring programs. Reports of monthly wildlife observations during patrolling trips were used for the summer season in 2010 and 2018. Findings showed a moderate to high decline in the most important wildlife species (i.e. lion, wild dog, and crest porcupine). Six others are documented as rare species in reserve, including the civet, spotted hyena, striped hyena, jackal, seraval, and Siberian bird. Contrary and despite the diversity reduction, some species witnessed increases in their observation frequency, such as lesser kudu, caracal, monitor, and lunar bird. Moreover, human settlements, agricultural activities, and other anthropogenic factors were found to be the main drivers of biodiversity reduction in JENP. The study recommends adopting this method to detect changes in wildlife communities, especially in a situation of deficiency and lack of funding to conduct regular monitoring programs.展开更多
