Coverage problem in camera-based sensor networks using the CUDA platform

Desperate Coverage Problem in Mission-Driven Camera Sensor Networks

Recently, camera sensor network is attracting huge amount of attention due to the growing popularity of multimedia applications. This paper investigates a new scheduling problem in camera sensor network whose goal is to cover a set of targets as efficiently as possible during a given mission period. In particular, we consider a desperate situation in which we may not have enough camera sensors ...

Coverage Quality in Visual Sensor Networks

Barrier Coverage for 3D Camera Sensor Networks

Barrier coverage, an important research area with respect to camera sensor networks, consists of a number of camera sensors to detect intruders that pass through the barrier area. Existing works on barrier coverage such as local face-view barrier coverage and full-view barrier coverage typically assume that each intruder is considered as a point. However, the crucial feature (e.g., size) of the...

Improving Energy-Efficient Target Coverage in Visual Sensor Networks

Target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. The coverage should be accompanied with an efficient use of energy in order to increase the network lifetime. In this paper, we address the maximum lifetime for visual sensor networks (MLV) problem by maximizing the network lifetime while covering all the targets. For this purpose, we develop a simulated annealing (SA) ...

Coverage and Connectivity Problem in Sensor Networks

In over deployed sensor networks, one approach to Conserve energy is to keep only a small subset of sensors active at Any instant. For the coverage problems, the monitoring area in a set of points that require sensing, called demand points, and consider that the node coverage area is a circle of range R, where R is the sensing range, If the Distance between a demand point and a sensor node is l...
