In this paper, we propose a novel 3D sensing model for the sensor placement optimization problem given a three dimensional environment. The model take into account the angles of a sensor, the distance between the sensor and a given point in the terrain, the Line-of-Sight (visibility) capability, the constraints of the terrain and the number of sensors needed to maximize the coverage over the terrain...
