1. A method for determining an optimal sensor configuration in a vision system, comprising:
- determining a capture quality function of an object at a plurality of locations for each of a plurality of sensor configurations;
for each of the plurality of sensor configurations, using the capture quality function determined at the plurality of locations to determine a cost function; and
determining an optimal sensor configuration based on the cost function determined for each of the plurality of sensor configurations.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for the analysis of scenarios where there are dynamically occurring objects capable of occluding each others. Application of the method in vision systems is also disclosed. Methods for incorporating visibility constraints for occluding scenarios are provided in a multi-camera setting. Other static constraints such as image resolution and field-of-view, and algorithmic requirements such as stereo reconstruction, face detection and background appearance are also addressed. A generic framework for sensor planning is also provided.
