Prior, Oliver J., Hannan Bin Azhar , M. A., Sahota, Vijay and Turner, Scott 2024. Unveiling pollution peaks: Comparing swarm intelligence with Drone Hill Climber . in: 2024 IEEE 22nd Jubilee International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics (SISY) IEEE. pp. 399-404 https://doi.org/10.1109/sisy62279.2024.10737602 Climate change has become an accelerating problem in recent years due to pollutants like greenhouse gases , with carbon dioxide being the most prominent. Similarly in time, works on the application and development of swarm intelligence using drones , along with the use of drones to monitor air pollution / source discovery, have been carried out in isolation to date. This paper presents an investigation to discover multiple pollution sources using a variety of existing swarm intelligence algorithms, through simulated drones. This paper also presents a bespoke Drone Hill Climber (DHC) algorithm that introduces the novel of multiple drones each flying on their o...
