| Summary: | Sensor deployment is one of the major concerns in multisensor networks. This paper proposes a sensor deployment approach using improved virtual force algorithm based on area intensity for multisensor networks to realize the optimal deployment of multisensor and obtain better coverage effect. Due to the real-time sensor detection model, the algorithm uses the intensity of sensor area to select the optimal deployment distance. In order to verify the effectiveness of this algorithm to improve coverage quality, VFA and PSOA are selected for comparative analysis. The simulation results show that the algorithm can achieve global coverage optimization better and improve the performance of virtual force algorithm. It avoids the unstable coverage caused by the large amount of computation, slow convergence speed, and easily falling into local optimum, which provides a new idea for multisensor deployment. |
