Abstract :
Previous research of barrier coverage did not consider breadth of coverage in Wireless Visual Sensor Networks (WVSNs). In this paper, we consider breadth to increase the Quality of Monitor (QoM) of WVSNs. The proposed algorithm is called Distributed β-Breadth Belt-Barrier construction algorithm (D-TriB). D-TriB constructs a belt-barrier with β breadth to offer β level of QoM, we call β-QoM. D-TriB can not only reduce the number of camera sensors required to construct a barrier but also ensure that any barrier with β-QoM in the network can be identified. Finally, the successful rate of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through simulations.
