A method for robust adaptation of the configuration of distributed sensor fields
Thomas A. Wettergren · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2011
We illustrate an approach for adapting the configuration of surveillance-based distributed sensor fields. By using a robust method of centralized adaptation of the field configuration, the performance of distributed sensor fields can be greatly extended. In this paper, we use the concept of Pareto optimality (that is, the achievement of desired tradeoffs between competing objectives) as a mechanism for describing the intent of the original deployment. We illustrate a computational approach to adaptation of the field configuration, provide numerical examples, and provide an analysis of the stability properties.
