An analysis of uncovered area for camera sensor network in maritime environment

Nowadays, accurate and low-cost autonomous maritime surveillance of camera sensor network is a critical requirement for various applications. In a maritime environment, camera sensors are deployed on mobile platforms, such as buoys. With an anchored buoy architecture, sensor locations are quasi-stationary. When sensors move, some areas may not be covered at some times. This paper analyzes the extend of the uncovered area in a realistic maritime environment. We present numerical results to variation in uncovered areas from time to time. Also in this paper, the simulation of the uncovered area detection of camera sensor network (CSN) used in maritime surveillance is presented using MATLAB.
