This paper examines the coverage overlapping configurations in visual surveillance systems. This paper proposes a robust dynamic programming framework to optimize visual surveillance sensor coverage overlaps. Based on visual sensor parameters information, and the features of the area to be monitored, this paper uses a deterministic modeling approach to model the sensor coverage in a 2-D space. Then, the minimization and the maximization arrangements of the coverage overlapping are formulated as discrete optimization problems. The obtained solutions from the dynamic programming technique are evaluated with respect to local and global greedy search algorithms. The results reveal the feasibility of the proposed technique compared with the benchmarked optimization methods in terms of the amount of coverage redundancy. © 2001-2012 IEEE. date: 2018 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85045332754&doi=10.1109%2fJSEN.2018.2825781&partnerID=40&md5=19474f61ceedc359e6a31b86c8364c2a id_number: 10.1109/JSEN.2018.2825781 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Sensors Journal volume: 18 number: 11 pagerange: 4544-4552 refereed: TRUE issn: 1530437X citation: Altahir, A.A. and Asirvadam, V.S. and Hamid, N.H.B. and Sebastian, P. and Saad, N.B. and Ibrahim, R.B. and Dass, S.C.
