Securing Barrier Coverage in Camera Sensor Networks Through Optimization

This paper studies the problem of establishing barrier coverage using camera sensor networks. For the identified barrier uncovered network, an optimization problem is formulated using the orientation and movement of each sensor to determine the optimal positions and orientations for ensuring barrier coverage. Further, an attraction forced-based motion strategy is used to relocate the sensors at desired positions and orientations. The connection between the solution for barrier coverage and the connectivity of the graph is established, and the efficacy of the approach is verified through simulations.
