Reduction of sensor population in a camera sensor network

Abstract

The problem of surveillance for intrusion detection in a camera sensor network is addressed in this paper. In order to save limited resources, a sensing task should involve just the right number of sensors. For a wide enough coverage area random and uniform distribution can be applied. We propose a novel method which allows reduction of number of sensors and guarantees a desired surveillance against aerial intrusion. Enhancement of the method is also offered to further reduce the number of sensors and improve the performance.
