1

Triplet formation of SONARs for reducing shutter ‘ On’ time of IN cameras andbreach avoidance amidst failing nodes

Sonar-sensing module

SONAR 3-pulse detectionintroduces latent responseof INs causing falsealarm (+ve -ve)

Pulse repetition rate (PRR)in SONAR tailored tomatch target speed andrange [42]

2

Sonar sleep scheduling to conserve energy

Sonar-sleeping module

False alarm (+ve -ve)amidst holes in full-widthhalf maximum(FWHM) coverage

Automated SONARcalibration by triplettraining similar to [42]

3

Database with relative silhouettes only(mobility model compliant) to reduce(a) memory occupancy, (b) comparisoncomputations, and (c) frequency ofIP module usage

Image change detectionsub-module and imagesubtraction sub-module

Tight coupling withassumed mobility modelcan lead to both falsealarms

Silhouette distribution and confiscation dynamicallyassociated with per pathcumulative surety canreduce the effect ofmobility
