Accurate Coverage of Complex Targets in Three-Dimensional Mobile Sensor Networks

With the rapid development of sensor and communication technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become a new emerging type of real-world applications. With the escalating exploration missions, two-dimensional(2D) WSNs can not meet demand. Therefore, we present an accurate coverage of complex target algorithm in three-dimensional(3D)mobile sensor network in this paper. The algorithm is a mobile deployment algorithm which is based on a traditional virtual force algorithm (VFA). We proposed the innovative concept which combine adaptive adjustment of the center of the forces with the target repulsion network. In this way, node cluster can be deployed adaptively to meet mission needs according to the different probe target shape. As we can see from the experimental results, we propose a new 3D deployment algorithm based on the complexity of the target coverage in the different forms of the target than the VFA algorithm to achieve higher coverage and balanced.
