The Hunting-Style Deployment of Underwater Sensor Networks

Underwater pollution incidents occur frequently, and obtaining accurate information about their exact location real-time situation is helpful for promptly formulating plans to contain mitigate the situation. Autonomously adjusting position of sensors optimal coverage monitoring regions interest (e.g., oil spill zones, chemical contamination areas) in real time a significant challenge. To this end, article proposes hunting-style underwater sensor deployment based on level set method. This method uses gateway-like role calculate boundary other parameters region an energy function used positioning sensors. Subsequently, use these as basis complete migration toward region. can gradually evolve into hunting also two novel performance evaluation metrics–structural similarity network balance–to evaluate comprehensive proposed Extensive simulation experiments demonstrate effectiveness
