Forming a Convex Polygon of Mobile Sensors

摘要

Forming a convex polygon of a plurality of mobile sensors in an area is provided. Sensor output data received from the plurality of mobile sensors in the area is analyzed using an optimization problem. It is determined whether the plurality of mobile sensors forms the convex polygon in the area. In response to determining that the plurality of mobile sensors does form the convex polygon in the area, an objective function and a set of constraints corresponding to the optimization problem are generated. Then, a sparse solution of the optimization problem is calculated using the objective function and the set of constraints to determine vector weight values for each of the plurality of mobile sensors.
