In stationary camera sensor networks (CSNs), when the deployment characteristics and sensing models are defined, the coverage can be deduced and remain unchanged over time. However, in the maritime environment, the rough and random sea condition can move CSN from the initial location. We envisage that camera sensors are mounted on quasi-mobile plat...

... The full-view coverage was extended from 2-D plane to the 3-D surface by Manoufali et al. [38], whose algorithm has high complexity for the reason that they take the effect of realistic sea surface movement into consideration. Besides, they proposed a method to improve the target detection and recognition in the presence of poor link quality using cooperative transmission with low power consumption. ...

Unlike conventional scalar sensors, camera sensors at different positions can capture a variety of views of an object. Based on this intrinsic property, a novel model called full-view coverage was proposed. We study the problem that how to select the minimum number of sensors to guarantee the full-view coverage for the given region of interest (ROI). To tackle this issue, we derive the constraint condition of the sensor positions for full-view neighborhood coverage with the minimum number of nodes around the point. Next, we prove that the full-view area coverage can be approximately guaranteed, as long as the regular hexagons decided by the virtual grid are seamlessly stitched. Then we present two solutions for camera sensor networks in two different deployment strategies. By computing the theoretically optimal length of the virtual grids, we put forward the deployment pattern algorithm (DPA) in the deterministic implementation. To reduce the redundancy in random deployment, we come up with a local neighboring-optimal selection algorithm (LNSA) for achieving the full-view coverage. Finally, extensive simulation results show the feasibility of our proposed solutions.
Underwater node coverage is the basis of various applications in underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN). It is easy to cause the coordinates of underwater nodes drift affected by water flow action. Some sparsely deployed underwater nodes may form coverage holes, which makes it impossible to locate underwater targets effectively. Combined the water flow situation, this paper proposes an improved brain storm optimization integrated with virtual force algorithm (IBSO-VFA) for improving UWSN coverage performance. After analyzing the water jet model integrated with the resultant force along Z axis, the velocity components of east, north and depth directions can be derived, which can reveal the coordinate evolution model of drifted underwater nodes under water flow action. Underwater nodes present non-uniform distribution of partly sparse and partly dense coverage, even with a lot of coverage holes. Inspired by the virtual force algorithm, the drifted underwater nodes are driven to their relative communicable positions. Meanwhile, the brain storm optimization has been improved and applied to avoid falling into local coverage optimum by pure VFA. Based on the node maximum coverage, the dual mapping of signal domain and localizability domain is established in consideration of ranging and coordinate errors. Finally, a comprehensive performance test is conducted to evaluate IBSO-VFA performance in terms of coverage rates, k-coverage and localizability area. The results indicate that the IBSO-VFA can maximize the UWSN coverage and localizability performance. The proposed IBSO-VFA can provide a close-to-practical coverage model for drifted underwater nodes, and can provide a theoretical basis for ocean information perception in UWSN.
Maritime oil exploration and transportation has increased more steeply due to the expansion of the world crude oil and natural gas production. The probability of oilrig pollution, burning, and explosion continues to rise. All these factors stimulate a greater danger for vessels, oil operation safety, and maritime environment. The continuous surveillance of the offshore oil fields and container vessels is essential to secure the production flow, avoid trespassing, and prevent vandalism from intruders and pirates. However, developing a large-scale camera sensor network (CSN) for a maritime surveillance is a challenging problem due to the environment complexity and network connectivity. Maritime wireless mesh networks (MWMNs) are envisaged to provide network connectivity in maritime environment and enable users to access the terrestrial communication networks. The high cost and low data-rate of satellite and other legacy maritime communication technologies and systems deployed in MWMNs pose a major limitation to establishing reliable and affordable maritime communications.
