A Distributed Scheme Based on Minimum Camera Actuation Employing Concentric Hexagonal Scalar Premier Selection for Data Redundancy Minimization

摘要

This article reports a novel algorithm inspired byscalar premier determination considering reduced cameraactivation while contributing enhanced coverage of the occurringevent zone. The proposed scheme chooses the scalar premiers in ahexagonal fashion, which operate as representatives of the scalarswithin whose sensing ranges the scalar premiers are located. Theselection of the scalar premiers is accomplished in such a mannerthat on any occasion of prevailing event in the monitored region, the scalar premiers appraise their respective camera sensorsregarding the event occurrence. The scalar premiers execute asthe messengers for event information communication to theircorresponding cameras, thereby, averting the redundant datatransmission by all the scalars. Further, the numerical resultsestablished from the experimental inspection and comparativeperformance estimates in terms of minimal camera activation, reduced redundancy ratio as well as maximized coverage ratiocorroborate the superiority of our proposed approach over threeother recently preferred methods in literature.
