Modeling of coverage preserving algorithm using object oriented methodology with UML

Visual sensor network collect visual data, which are rich in information and hence offer tremendous potential for many applications such as automated surveillance and traffic monitoring. Hence it is necessary to design scalable network architecture to support several heterogeneous and independent applications. The angle coverage problem aims to identify a set of sensors that preserve all the angles of view of the object while fulfilling the image resolution requirement. In order to save transmission energy, the number of images to be sent should be minimized. A coverage preserving algorithm will be developed with the help of coverage cost metrics to identify the cluster head from a set of sensors to ensure balanced energy consumption. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the most widely known and used notation for object oriented analysis and design. UML diagrams presented in the paper with the help Visual Paradigm, helps to design and implement the coverage problem.
