A three-dimensional grid model of a traffic scene can be determined based on grid elements. Weights can be determined for the grid elements of the three-dimensional grid model corresponding to priority regions and occluded grid elements. Grid coverage for respective stationary sensors can be determined based on the grid elements of the three-dimensional grid model. A matrix can be determined based on the grid coverage of the plurality of stationary sensors. An optimal subset of stationary sensors can be determined based on applying a greedy search algorithm to the matrix, the weights and costs corresponding to the plurality of stationary sensors to maximize the ratio of grid coverage to the cost based on poses of the plurality of stationary sensors.

Sensor optimization

A method for monitoring the activities of a user within a selected environment, which comprises monitoring and reporting the condition of a user in a selected environment, monitoring the time, frequency and duration of use of each of a plurality of selected elements, selected from a plurality of physiological measurements of the user and a plurality of non-physiological measurements from the selected environment, a repeating hub for receiving data from each of the selected elements, transmitting the data from the repeating hub to a central processing unit, analyzing the data received by the central processing unit to establish a pattern of user behavior and normal-use parameters for each of the plurality of selected elements, and signaling beyond the selected environment when at least one selected element exceeds the normal use parameters being monitored.
