Abstract

A comprehensive, intuitive, task-oriented three-dimensional coverage model for cameras and multi-camera networks using fuzzy sets is presented. The model captures the vagueness inherent in the concept of visual coverage. At present, the model can be used to evaluate, given a scene model and an objective, the coverage performance of a given camera or multi-camera network configuration, as a single numerical metric. Plans to use the model for optimal camera placement and other problems involving coverage are discussed. Examples of qualitative experimental validation of the coverage model are presented.
