本文提出了一种以最小摄像机数量最大化覆盖范围为目标的多摄像机排列设计新方法。更具体地说，所提出的问题有三个不同的组成部分，即(a)在给定摄像机数量的情况下最大化覆盖范围；(b)在给定固定位置的情况下优化摄像机拓扑结构；(c)在提供最低要求的覆盖百分比的情况下最小化布置成本。为了解决这些问题，蜂群算法被用作一种优化技术，它能够确定完全覆盖给定空间所需的最小摄像机数量，同时考虑到拟议安排的最小可能成本。该算法采用了几种相机放置约束，包括几何、光学和重建限制，并提供了有希望的初步结果。
This paper presents a new method for designing multi-camera arrangements with aim to maximize coverage with the minimum number of cameras. More specifically, the presented problem has three different components, namely (a) to maximize the coverage subject to a given number of cameras (b) to optimize the camera topology given fixed locations and (c) to minimize the cost of the arrangement, while the least required percentage of coverage is provided. In order to solve these problems, a bee colony algorithm is utilized as an optimization technique that is able to determine the minimum number of cameras needed to cover the given space completely while taking into consideration the minimum possible cost for the proposed arrangement as well. The algorithm employs several camera placement constraints referring to geometrical, optical as well as reconstructive limitations and delivers promising preliminary results.
