Abstract

Coverage is a measure of the quality of surveillance offered by a given network of sensors over the field it protects. Geometric characterization of, and optimization problems pertaining to, a specific measure of coverage - maximal breach - form the subject matter of this paper. We prove lower bound results for maximal breach through its geometric characterization.We define a new measure called average maximal breach and design an optimal algorithm for it. We also show that a relaxed optimization problem for the proposed measure is NP-Hard.
