Abstract

A Wireless Video Sensor Network (WVSN) consists of a set of sensor nodes equipped with miniaturized video cameras. Unlike omni-directional sensors, the sensing region of a video node is limited to the field of view of its camera. In this paper, we study the problem of coverage by video sensors in randomly deployed WVSN. We focus on the performance of various fast cover set construction strategies for enabling efficient scheduling of nodes in mission-critical surveillance applications. Simulation results shows the performance of the various strategies in terms of percentage of coverage, network lifetime, intrusion stealth time and number of intrusion detection.
