Splitting method for spatio-temporal sensors deployment in underwater systems
Résumé
In this paper, we present a novel stochastic optimization algorithm based on the rare events simulation framework for sensors deployment in underwater systems. More precisely, we focus on finding the best spatio-temporal deployment of a set of sensors in order to maximize the detection probability of an intelligent and randomly moving target in an area under surveillance. Based on generalized splitting technique with a dedicated Gibbs sampler, our approach does not require any state-space discretization and rely on the evolutionary framework.
