Abstract
A solution for motion sensors deployment in smart buildings is proposed. It diferentiates the monitored zones according to their occupancy, where highly-occupied zones have higher coverage requirements over low-occupied zones, and thus are assigned higher granularity in the targeted coverage (weights). The proposed solution is the rst that de nes a user-driven approach, which uses sampling of occupants' behavior to determine the zones and the coverage weights. The samples are acquired during a short learning phase and then used to derive a graph model. The latter is plugged into a greedy, yet e ective, algorithm that seeks optimal placement for maximizing detection accuracy while reducing the cost (number of sensors). Practical aspects such as the scalability and the applicability of the solution are considered. A simulation study that compares the proposed solution with two state-of-the-art solutions shows the superiority of the proposed approach in the accuracy of detection (increased coverage), and scalability (reduced runtime).
