Description
Summary:The camera placement within the observed area is one of the most relevant problems within the new Video Surveillance System design. Some potential to automate the camera placement within the particular area is in utilization of various optimization methods. Nonetheless, the problem of camera placement is too complex for standard analytic solution methods. Differential Evolution has recently proven to be an efficient method for optimizing real-valued multi-modal objective functions. It represents a modern heuristic approach for minimizing nonlinear and non-differentiable continuous space functions. The example of application of this method is utilized within this research paper and some interesting results were achieved. © 2015, North Atlantic University Union. All rights reserved.
