Abstract: Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) is widely used for surveillance application. These multimedia (audio and video) nodes are distributed according to different deployment strategies in a multi-tier heterogeneous architecture environment. In this paper we have modelled the deployment cost of WMSN considering the sensor type (audio or video), sensor configuration such as remaining energy of battery, deployment point, and terrain characteristics for surveillance applications. Using our proposed cost models we have studied the effects of different deployment strategies of WMSN over flat and elevated terrains. Our cost models helps in minimizing the cost of deployment while maintaining Quality-of-Service i.e., the coverage and connectivity of the audio and video sensors separately. We have formulated an integer linear programand proposed a heuristic solution to minimize the placement costs subject to network coverage requirements using our first cost model. Our second cost model is used to propose a scheme that will ensure connectivity of the network. We have done simulations with three network deployment strategies, namely deterministic, random and hybrid and show that the hybrid deployment of sensor nodes yields a balance of performance and cost as compared to the other two. Our study provides guidelines for the network architect to select a particular deployment strategy under performance and cost requirements.
