Sensor planning for range cameras via a coverage strength model

Abstract

A method for sensor planning based on a previously developed coverage strength model is presented. The approach taken is known as generate-and-test: a feasible solution is predefined and then tested using the coverage model. The relationship between the resolution of the imaging system and its performance is the key component to perform sensor planning of range cameras. Experimental results are presented; the inverse correlation between coverage performance and measurement error demonstrates the usefulness of the model in the sensor planning context. © 2011 IEEE.
