Abstract:
In this paper, we focus on the problem of optimally placing a mixture of static and PTZ cameras based on the resolution requirement, this configuration will be useful later cameras planning. The static cameras used for detecting an object or an event, this result is used to select the best PTZ camera within the network to identify or recognize this moving object or event. In our work the monitoring area is represented by a grid of points distributed uniformly or randomly (S. Thrun, 2002), then using surface-projected monitoring area and camera sensing model we develop a binary integer programming algorithm. The results of the algorithm are applied successfully to a variety of simulated scenarios.
