This paper presents a novel generalized framework for optimal sensor placement design for
structural health monitoring (SHM) applications using Bayes risk as the objective function …

This paper considers the problem of practical Heterogeneous wireless charger Placement
with Obstacles (HIPO), ie, given a number of heterogeneous rechargeable devices …

We are proposing an adaptation of the gradient descent method to optimize the position and
orientation of sensors for the sensor placement problem. The novelty of the proposed …

Cameras, with their low cost and efficiency, are widely used in construction management
and structural health monitoring. However, existing reviews on camera sensor placement …

We analyze several new problems that arise from the use of rotating directional sensors. The
coverage region of a rotating directional sensor is restricted to a certain direction, and its …

Visibility is a fundamental concept in computational geometry, with numerous applications in
surveillance, robotics, and games. This software paper presents TřiVis, a C++ library …

We introduce the pan and scan problem, in which cameras are configured to observe
multiple target locations. This is representative example within a broad family of problems in …

Path planning is an essential capability for autonomous robots, and many applications
impose challenging constraints alongside the standard requirement of obstacle avoidance …

Robots and intelligent systems that sense or interact with the world are increasingly being
used to automate a wide array of tasks. The ability of these systems to complete these tasks …

Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H⊆
X, with the property that each range R∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H. We present …
