Abstract
The present disclosure proposes a watchtower arrangement method of monitoring terrains, the watchtower arrangement method being capable of ensuring economical and efficient monitoring by optimizing a maximum height of a set watchtower while setting a limited number of watchtowers configured to monitor a plurality of points. A watchtower arrangement method according to the present disclosure includes an initial value setting step, a single watchtower arrangement determining step, and a continuous watchtower arrangement determining step.
Claims7
A watchtower arrangement method comprising:
- an initial value setting step of setting information on a given target terrain, in which a watchtower is to be installed, and information on apices, location apices, and the watchtower;
- a single watchtower arrangement determining step of dividing a visibility region of each of the location apices into partial regions, calculating a common region of the partial region and a visibility region intersection, calculating a minimum vertical distance between a terrain boundary and the common region, and determining an arrangement of one watchtower capable of monitoring the corresponding location apex;
- and
- a continuous watchtower arrangement determining step of determining the arrangement of the watchtower to minimize a maximum height among the watchtowers configured to monitor the continuous location apices when k watchtowers (where k is a natural number) for monitoring the given terrain are given.
