Model Based Optimization of Mobile Geosensor Networks

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ((LNGC))

Abstract

An approach for monitoring network optimization is presented which estimates the characteristics of a spatial phenomenon based on the measured values in order to perform the optimization. Based on a phenomenon model it is determined where additional information is needed. During this optimization process also the limitations and constraints of the geosensor network are taken into account. After deriving the model based approach from theoretical considerations, the presented approach is evaluated by means of a table top experiment.
