Abstract

Mobile radio tomography applies moving agents that perform wireless signal strength measurements in order to reconstruct an image of objects inside an area of interest. We propose a toolchain to facilitate automated agent planning, data collection, and dynamic tomographic reconstruction. Preliminary experiments show that the approach is feasible and results in smooth images that clearly depict objects at the expected locations when using missions that sufficiently cover the area of interest.
